Tips
The origins of the Enghien Park go back to the XVth century, when Pierre de Luxembourg, landlord of the resort, reconstructs the forest adjacent to the castle and converts it into a park. Two centuries later, in 1607, the domain was sold by Henry IV, King of France, to the noble family d'Arenberg.

Enghien Castle is a castle in the Belgian city of Enghien in the province of Hainaut. The current castle was built in 1913 on the site of the orangery of the former castle. It was commissioned by François Empain by architect Alexandre Marcel in Louis XVI style. The castle is surrounded by a park of 182 ha and contains a number of monumental trees. The Chapel Tower is the only remnant of the medieval castle.
