Achtzalighedenboom, Protected monument tree in Lille, Belgium.
The Achtzalighedenboom stands as a grove pine with an irregular shape near the Rollekensberg area within the forests of Lille.
Dating from approximately 1850, the tree appeared in a 1910 publication documenting the most notable trees throughout Belgium's landscape.
The name originates from Christ's eight Beatitudes, reflecting its original eight trunks, connecting natural heritage with religious symbolism of the region.
Located between cycling points 80 and 53 and walking nodes 89 and 92, visitors can access the tree through marked forest paths.
In March 2013, a severe storm caused substantial damage to the tree, which carries growth rings dating back to 1824.
