Tips

Groenendaal is an incorrect and late spelling for the original Croenendael or Croonendael. Croenendael was a Loons great fief, which together with Hoelbeek and Jonckholt (confer Hoelbeek) formed one fief, owned by the lords of Jonckholt. At the end of the 14th century, the property was divided: Aleidis van Jonckholt, married to Godenoel van Elderen, lord of Elderen, inherited Croenendael. The property subsequently came into the possession of the Lamboy family (1477). The de Grady family owned the property in the mid-18th century (1757). It is Michel Joseph de Grady (+ circa 1786) who converted the old, 17th-century castle in Meuse style into its current, classicist form, as well as the farm. In 1861 the estate was sold to Baron Emile de Rosen de Borgharen. It is still privately owned.

Originally known as Croenendael or Croonendael. It was connected to the associated fort of Jonckholt via a lane. U-shaped building that is still partly moated and of which the 17th century core is still present. The former castle was converted in classicist style at the end of the 18th century. Later, a park was constructed in the English landscape style in which remains of the destroyed fortress of Jonckholt were incorporated.
