Rivierenhof

The Rivierenhof extends over 132 hectares with gardens, ponds, and walking paths, making it the largest park in Antwerp.

The estate originated in the 16th century as a summer residence and belonged to the Jesuits from 1618 until 1773, when it was sold to banker Jan Baptist Cogels.

The park features six themed gardens, including a rose garden, arboretum, pinetum, azalea garden, coryletum, and Celtic tree horoscope collection.

Visitors can participate in activities such as football, tennis, korfball, and petanque, or explore the children's farm and traffic garden within the grounds.

The Grote Schijn river flows through the park, creating natural ponds, with the fishing pond spanning 4 hectares and reaching depths of 1.5 meters.
