Are you also curious about the history and architectural gems in your neighbourhood? Then walk with us through 'De Merode' neighbourhood and discover the stories behind the facades.
Residential housing on old castle estates, art deco buildings, houses in eclectic style and art nouveau, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Fester Castle, neoclassical houses, Domain Hertoghe, the former Minerva factory, etc.
The route of the walk starts at Frederik de Merode Square, at the statue of Frederik de Merode, and also ends back here. We will walk through Cardinal Mercierlei, Le Grellelei, De Merodelei, Prins Albertlei and Karel Oomsstraat, among others.
We gladly invite you and your family to this architecture walk led by Alex Elaut, experienced city guide. Afterwards, Immodôme will treat you to a drink at Brasserie De Merode (on Frederik de Merodeplein).
