The Warandepark is 205 hectares in size and was once the hunting ground of the Dukes of Brabant. The park is a royal forest, laid out as a park, encompassing two separate valleys. In front of the park is a French garden with ponds, flowerbeds, and statues, which flows into a series of ponds that receive their water from the Voer. It is one of the Flemish gateways to the Zoniënwoud. Part of the Zoniënwoud is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The forest itself is home to many animals. Not only squirrels and rabbits can sometimes be seen up close, but increasingly you can also spot a fox. The Egyptian goose and the ring-necked parakeet are true African ambassadors of the Park and can be seen and especially heard all year round. The nuthatch, the white wagtail, and the chiffchaff (in spring and summer) are regular guests, and those who visit the Park very early or late in the evening have a good chance, especially in winter, of hearing the tawny owl call.

Château Malou is a beautiful neoclassical property built in 1776 in a splendid park by the Brussels merchant Lambert de Lamberts. It replaced a small country residence known since the mid-17th century. The castle was owned by Pierre-Louis Van Gobbelschroy, an Orangist minister at the end of the Dutch period (1829). The famous minister and financier Jules Malou (1810-1886) occupied it from 1853 and gave it his name. Municipal property since 1950, it now hosts exhibitions and conferences. Weddings and golden wedding anniversaries are also celebrated there. The park was listed in 1993.
