Such a peaceful place! The mansion sitting at the top (now in ruins) belonged to Alfred Solvay (brother of Ernest Solvay). After the death of his daughter Thérèse Tournay-Solvay, it was first sold to a real estate company, and eventually acquired by the Brussels region in 1980. An intentional fire destroyed part of the house in 1982. The house has been consolidated in 2014-2015, but hasn't been renovated yet -- plans are under way.
