In the 19th century, an industrialist from Brussels named Mignot bought a pavilion after a World Exhibition and had it transferred to his own estate, which he called "Mont Noir".
At the same time he had the heath cultivated and he had a park laid out with avenues, ponds, columns and statues.
Unfortunately, nothing of that park is left now, except for the columns. The image of three columns on the purple signposts is therefore a reference to the estate as it used to be.
