"Visitors made room for a wide range of restorers who, with the patience of angels, made all the rooms and corridors shine again. After a flourishing summer in which we were able to share all the beauty again, the castle is temporarily returning to hibernation. We look forward to seeing you again from March 31, 2024."
"On February 11, exactly one hundred years after the opening of the castle as a museum, we will communicate our program for 2024!"

In the seventeenth century, Count René de Renesse bought Gaasbeek Castle and the surrounding park. Thanks to this controversial man, impressive changes were carried out on the domain, which he wanted to transform into a real Baroque park. Three witnesses to this fairy-tale concept remain today, including this glory. Want to take shelter from the sun and enjoy a cup of chocolate? That was possible in this precious, oval summer salon, almost a bonbonnière. Inside there is a lavish stucco ceiling dating from around 1620.
