In front of the park is a French garden with ponds, flower beds and statues, which extends to a series of ponds that receive their water from the Voer.

The veneration of Saint Hubert in Tervuren, the presumed place of death of the patron saint of hunters, dates back to at least the 16th century and is probably even older. Every year on the last Sunday in October, an open-air mass is celebrated there in honor of Saint Hubert, and horses and dogs are blessed to protect them from running amok.

Quiet and beautiful

Very nice place to have a drink at the end of a walk or to have a bite to eat!

Lots of green, trees and water. Quiet for walking, cycling, picnicking.

Rebuilt eclectic country house designed in 1916 by architect Chrétien Veraart and surrounded by a park in landscape style, approximately 16 hectares, laid out from 1859; numerous old (sweet chestnuts and brown beeches) and rare trees. First, the Hof te Laar stood here, known since the fifteenth century as a leasehold farm of the monastery of Gempe. In 1789, it was sold to the son of the Baron van Roosbeek. Between 1800 and 1810, the Hof te Laar was purchased by Charles-Lambert-Joseph de Maurissens. He left it to his nephew, knight Edouard Godefroid de Maurissens (1793-1853). And a few years after his death, the south wing of the court was converted into a "castle". After WWII, the then owners left the castle domain and in 1948 the heirs sold the castle and park to the University of Leuven to build a 'sanatorium' (clinic for tuberculosis sufferers) on the edge of the park.

In the former hamlet of Goordaal, a water mill, the Moelene van Gordale, was built around 1293. This was one of the twelve ducal ban mills on the Voer between Tervuren and Leuven. In the medieval legal system, wind and water belonged to the owner of the fief, in this case the Duke of Brabant. The surrounding farmers were therefore obliged to grind their grain here and leave some of it behind. The dilapidated wooden mill was rebuilt in 1534 in brick and natural stone with a tiled roof instead of straw. Clay for the bricks was collected in the surrounding area. The name Spaans huis refers to the elongated facade stones, Spanish stone. In the 17th century, Archdukes Albrecht and Isabella had a long wall built around the Warande. The walls of the Spaans huis were also rebuilt. The current appearance, albeit without a mill, dates from that time. The mill remained in operation until the second half of the 18th century. For the 1897 World Exhibition, Leopold II had the ponds enlarged and trees planted. The picturesque mill house inspired artists and writers, such as Eleanor Smith with her novel The Spanish House.
