The summer season is approaching
The bright summer sun invites you to walk, linger and enjoy a picnic in the park. A summer picnic in the castle’s parterre garden also served as the starting point for a new creation by Clara Spilliaert. Drawing on this experience, she turns her gaze towards the world hidden beneath the picnic blanket. Discover Soil Mate, Clara Spilliaert’s new exhibition at Gaasbeek Castle. An invitation to wander through the castle and its park with a fresh perspective this summer.
Welcome to Gaasbeek Castle.
Rebel Echoes
Now » 15.11.2026
With a rich history of some 800 years, the castle is a place filled with stories. At Gaasbeek Castle, you'll wander through centuries that flow effortlessly into one another. The voices of the past echo through the walls, resonating in the hallways. You encounter the former residents, each with their own - somewhat rebellious - character. Their echoes are reflected in letter fragments that lead you through the castle rooms.
