This event ran on 18.05.2025. But wait, there's always more at Kanal! Check out the calendar.

Designed by famous architect Jean-Baptiste Dewin for a prosperous industrialist, Hôtel Danckaert is fairly representative of the upper-middle class way of life in the early twentieth century.

Typically Art Deco, this imposing residence has an intimate relationship with its surroundings. The beautiful 30-acre wooded grounds were designed to echo the decorative motifs that still adorn this exceptionally well-preserved house. Representative of the eclectic style of the early twentieth century, the garden combines the charm of a beautiful classic rose garden with that of a landscaped park crisscrossed with paths and planted with shrubs and tall trees, which remain today. 

Don't miss this opportunity to discover the rich and eventful history of this garden in the heart of a neighbourhood passionate about protecting its historical and natural heritage.
