The pavilion known as the Seven Stars, or Temple of Hercules, was built around 1650 by the Capuchin Father Charles of Brussels (i. E. Antoine d'Arenberg) at the highest point of the estate. It was a point of observation of the heavens, an observatory, designed at a time when astronomy took off again with the discoveries of Galileo and Copernicus. From this elevated point, it was possible to observe the horizon and the sky at 360 °.
