Initially it was a 12th century abbey which became a castle during the French Revolution then a sugar factory in the 19th century. The province of Brabant acquired it in 1962 to open it to the general public.

Between Brussels and Liège, in Walloon Brabant, you will find the 18th-century neoclassical Castle of Hélécine. The castle is surrounded by a park where you can practice various activities.

Although the castle only receives business tourists, everyone can go for a walk in its beautiful green park.
