This event ran on 22.06.2025. But wait, there's always more at Kanal! Check out the calendar.

It is a rather curious site in Brussels … A rare vestige of the eighteenth century, visible on the Ferraris map of 1777, it was originally a hunting lodge built at a time when Etterbeek was nothing but fields, woods and copses. The pavilion was later converted into a residence in the Palladian style.  With its large front garden and classic-looking building, the property stands in stark contrast to the streets lined with façades in the Leopold style.

The back garden was long an orchard bordered by very old walls. It still exudes the strange and mysterious atmosphere of bygone centuries. It is now home to various semi-natural environments that are rich in biodiversity. Opposite the property, on the other side of Chaussée Saint-Pierre, you will find a unique feature in Brussels: a grand urban flight of steps with a Parisian feel running up to the Cinquantenaire embankment, with a gem of ‘Streamline Moderne’ architecture at no 4.
