Lasne

Lasne is a municipality in Walloon Brabant that spreads across open fields, woodlands, and scattered villages with traditional architecture. The five districts are distributed across agricultural areas and together form a rural region.

The area saw fighting during the Battle of Waterloo, particularly in the Plancenoit district. Marks from these events remain visible today in the cemetery wall next to the church.

The municipality maintains multiple cultural facilities, including libraries, sports centers, and spaces for artistic exhibitions throughout its five main districts.

The area is easily reached by car or public transport, with an administrative center in Ohain serving visitors and residents. The flat to gently rolling countryside works well for walking and cycling.

The area is known for its wealthy population and at the same time for particularly low tax rates. This contrast between prosperity and affordable taxes is unusual in the Belgian region.
