The Groenenberg castle and park grounds, located in Gaasbeek and Vlezenbeek, have been the property of the Flemish Community since 1981, which had it thoroughly restored in 1992. The domain was opened to the public on July 17, 1990. The castle was built around 1890, in an eclectic style. The 45 hectare English landscape park was created by Edmond Galoppin, one of the most famous landscape architects of that time. The park is characterized 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.

The 45-hectare park, owned by the Agency for Nature and Forests, extends around the castle of Groenenberg in the Flemish green outskirts around Brussels. The domain consists of winding roads, curved forest edges and extensive lawns. It is an oasis of silence and has beautiful plant collections such as azaleas, hydrangeas and rhododendrons.
