Duden Park, Protected heritage park in Forest, Belgium
Duden Park encompasses 24 hectares of land with steep slopes, rising from 55 meters to 90 meters above sea level in the Forest district.
The grounds belonged to Forest Abbey in the 12th century and served as hunting territory for the Habsburg dynasty before Wilhelm Duden acquired it in 1875.
The neoclassical castle within the park houses LUCA School of Arts, while Joseph Marien Stadium hosts matches of the Royal Union Saint-Gilloise football club.
Brussels Environment manages the park since 2006, implementing conservation strategies to protect the centuries-old beech trees and maintain ecological balance.
The park contains a 15th-century stone cross at the intersection of Brussels Road and Mystery Street, marking local historical significance.
