Autumn colours Gaasbeek
As the leaves gradually turn gold and red, the park invites visitors to enjoy a peaceful walk. There is also plenty to discover inside the castle. In Soil Mate, Clara Spilliaert turns her attention to the hidden world beneath our feet, entering into a dialogue with the castle's history, nature, and spaces. An invitation to pause and reflect on the rich life hidden beneath the colourful foliage, and to wander through the castle and its grounds with fresh eyes this autumn.

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.
