CASTLE AND PARK OF BOIS-SEIGNEUR-ISAAC

The park of the Bois-Seigneur-Isaac Chateau is a landscaped park laid out at the beginning of the 19th century. It is designed around the prospect from the chateau to the former guard house with its neo-gothic windows, surrounded by woods against which magnificent specimens of copper beeches, limes and chestnuts stand out. Apart from a centuries-old bower of trees, the park also boasts several other remarkable trees: 400 year old yews, Atlas cedars, locust trees and false acacias, American oaks, weeping beeches etc. Behind and parallel with the chateau stretches a formal garden designed by Dechêne in the early 20th century. Rose alternate with peonies, salvias and geraniums. Other areas of the garden are planted to mixed borders.
