Park van Beervelde

Park van Beervelde is a 25-hectare English landscape park in the Belgian municipality of Lochristi featuring rolling meadows, water elements, winding paths, and natural woodland areas. The villa at its center displays artworks and serves as a focal point within this varied landscape.

The park was established in 1873 by Charles de Kerckhove, mayor of Ghent, to showcase horticultural advances from the Ghent region. The site has developed over time into a place that brings together garden design and history.

The villa displays artworks by local Belgian artists throughout its rooms, showing how art and landscape design come together here. Visitors can see these pieces and feel how creativity flows through the design of the property.

The park opens its gates twice annually in May and October, with plant exhibitions and garden events taking place during these periods. Visitors should expect larger crowds on these days and allow time to explore the winding paths and water features.

The current villa stands on the foundation of an original castle and houses a modern interpretation of a famous painting in its hallway. This blend of old and new creates a surprising artistic layer within the building's architecture.
