Kasteel van Gaasbeek

Kasteelstraat 40, 1750 Gaasbeek (Lennik), Belgium

Gaasbeek Castle is a unique historic house with a rich history and a diverse collection. It is located in the middle of an oasis of greenery, in the shelter of Brussels. We take care of this special ensemble, which also includes the various historic park buildings. On this soothing interface between nature and culture you feel the heartbeat of passers-by from different centuries, all idiosyncratic people, striving for freedom, with an eye for innovation.

We interpret stories and appeal to your empathy and imagination. We invite a diverse range of artists, scientists, entrepreneurs - but also every visitor - to enter into dialogue with this place. In this way, together we arrive at open perspectives on society and an exciting confrontation with who we are. Here the present and the past meet in a close embrace, each time creating new meanings and connections with ourselves, the other(s) and the world.

We are grounded in a bigger picture, in connection with the world around us and in valuable collaborations with a wide range of (local, national and international) partners.

The castle is open again!

It will be a festive year in which the castle has existed as a museum for 100 years. We celebrate this with the return of the castle collection in a brand new scenography . We also invite various contemporary artists to be inspired by the castle, the collection and the many stories in order to offer an enriching view of ourselves and the world around us.

We have a great program in store for you.

The park and the Museum Garden also welcome you for a leisurely walk.
