In 1912, Karel Alexander Devis built on a 4.5 hectare site

site in the Waerborreveld a large cottage. The villa with

castle allures was surrounded by a 'pleasure garden'.

The domain had all the components of a traditional one

country estate from the beginning of the 20th century: service building

such as a porter's lodge and gardener's house included

garages, a vegetable garden with greenhouses and orchard.

Both the romantic style of the buildings and that of

the park are typical of the taste and way of life of

the bourgeoisie in the period around the First World War.

The park, which consists of a large open grass area surrounding

surrounded by a belt of dense plantings, is especially

interesting because of its unique collection of trees. A

inventory from 1996 mentions no less than 123 different

loin species and varieties. Quite a few of these trees

are exceptional due to their size and/or their rare

solitude.

Most likely the collection is the work of two or

even three generations of collectors. Also then owner

to Devis brought back exotic species from his travels.

In 1966 the Devis family transferred its property (castle and

park) to the municipality of Asse. Due to the construction of the

Parklaan, the vegetable garden with greenhouses disappeared. The castle

became a restaurant and the park was provided with paths and

play areas.

The Waalborre Park was protected as a village area in 2000.
