The brown beech (18th century).
The brown beech is probably a relic of the late eighteenth-century garden design of the Spanjaardenkasteel. Dean Leemput is said to have received the trees in his garden from a fellow professor of botany at the University of Leuven. The brown beech stood here until 1958 - three in a row - in the company of a horse chestnut and a remarkable swamp cypress. Unfortunately, the horse chestnut and the swamp cypress were felled in the winter of 1958. Only the brown beech remained.
