Groenenberg is a 45-hectare park in our sub-municipality of Vlezenbeek. The eye-catcher is the beautifully restored Groenenberg Castle. Around 1900, notary Charles Claes built the Groenenberg country house. It was the ‘largest castle in Vlezenbeek’, with a nod to its neighbour in Gaasbeek
The beauty of Groenenberg Castle is getting stiff competition from a number of striking nature collections. Solitary trees and colourful shrubs, eye-catching azalea bushes and purple butterfly bushes guarantee colour all year round. You will have to go out yourself to experience the diversity in Groenenberg!

Situated in a beautiful domain, partly on Vlezenbeek, partly on Gaasbeek and adjacent to the historical domain of Gaasbeek. The domain, currently with a surface area of 45 hectares and the highest point of the municipality (82.5 metres), is partly laid out as an English landscape park with a considerable forest area and pasture. To the west of the more or less centrally located castle with neo-Flemish Renaissance elements, lies the former farm, originally consisting of a staff house with horse stables and coach house; in addition, a pleasure garden to the east of the castle and a forester's house at the north-western entrance on the territory of Sint-Martens-Lennik have also been preserved (Groenenberg 25).

Groenenberg Castle and its park domain, located in Gaasbeek and Vlezenbeek, has been owned by the Flemish Community since 1981, which had it thoroughly restored in 1992. The domain was opened to the public on 17 July 1990. The castle was built around 1890, in an eclectic style. The 45 ha English landscape park was designed by Edmond Galoppin, one of the most famous landscape architects of that time. The park is characterised by winding roads, curved forest edges and extensive lawns, low flower beds, solitary trees and shrubs. Didactic identification plates have been placed on the most remarkable trees. The park is connected to the historic domain and castle of Gaasbeek.
