Hanging Gardens of Thuin

The gardens spread across multiple levels on the hillside, containing over 200 individual plots with vegetables, fruit trees, and flowering plants.

The terraced gardens received official protection status in 1976 and were later designated as an exceptional heritage property of Wallonia in 2016.

Local residents maintain these individual garden plots following traditional cultivation methods, preserving agricultural practices passed down through generations.

Three main entrances provide access to the garden paths, with informational panels along the routes explaining the local flora and providing directional guidance.

The stone walls of these gardens retain heat and create a microclimate that enables Mediterranean plants to grow in this Belgian environment.
