    Tips

    August 2, 2022

    Den Botaniek breathes the atmosphere of the past. Initially, the garden with the medicinal herbs belonged to the adjacent Sint-Elisabeth hospital. Thanks to the efforts of doctor and botanist Claude-Louis Sommé, the garden became an important domain for scientific research. Today you will find about 2000 plant species. With the help of the name plates you can easily refresh your plant knowledge.

    Take a stroll while shopping and enjoy the full sun next to the cacti conservatory. Or catch your breath in the shade under one of the special trees. During the exam periods, Den Botaniek is popular with students who sit down on the grass with their textbooks. If you get hungry, you can have lunch in style on the adjacent terrace.

      Right behind the fashion district, you can leave your bags and relax in the greenery. 200 years ago, "Den Botanik" was planted as a sacred garden by the sisters of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. It has been a listed monument since 1950.
