Domain Bovy is a pearl, grand in its simplicity. In the expansive 34-hectare hiking park, you can fully enjoy nature and indulge your taste buds in an atmospheric bistro or on a sun-drenched terrace. Located within De Wijers, this is an area with a rich cultural history. The history of Domain Bovy goes back to 1134. The Count of Loon then founded the Norbertine abbey in Averbode. Twenty years later, he donated an estate of 27 hectares in Bolderberg to the abbey. The white people built a beautiful square farm there.
