he strangely overlooked Gaasbeek Castle lies just outside Brussels in the rolling Pajottenland
countryside of Flemish Brabant. Here
you can explore dark Neo Gothic interiors,
including a dining hall, round tower and
luxurious Art Deco bathroom installed by the
last countess to live here.
These romantic rooms are often the setting for
contemporary art exhibitions on creative themes
like sex and death. After a visit, you can wander
around the wooded estate, visit the walled vegetable garden and drink a beer in one of the taverns at
the castle gates.
