    The Municipal Park in Binche is a historical and cultural treasure. The park is built on the ruins of a former 12th-century castle. Mary of Hungary, sister of Charles V and regent of the Spanish Netherlands, decided to build a majestic palace in Binche. The architect Jacques Dubroeucq started the works in 1545 and completed them in 1549. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by the troops of King Henry II of France, but it was restored immediately afterwards. The entire park is surrounded by the city walls and the walk is definitely worth it. On the other side of the bridge is the chapel of Saint Andrew. The park exudes an atmosphere of historic grandeur and is a beautiful place for a peaceful walk.

      There is plenty to see here in the park. There are many benches where you can simply enjoy the peace and the view, near the church. Highly recommended during your visit to Binche
