Blauwendael Castle

Highlight • Castle

Associated public castle park between Kerkstraat (east) and Gentstraat (north) of 4 to 4.5 hectares, was laid out around 1820-1830 in a landscape style. Park with walking paths, ornamental lawns, pond, varied trees including a number of valuable 150 to 200 year old specimens (including weeping beech, brown beech, oaks, maples, horse chestnuts).

Access to the castle park with the actual main entrance located on Kerkstraat between two terraced houses; closed by iron fencing on four iron bundle pillars, crowned in typical fashion with spearheads and upright laurel wreath. On Gentstraat, the castle park on the street side is partly closed off by a brick garden wall. The part with younger masonry (presumably from the interwar period) adjacent to the side entrance in the northwest corner with an entrance gate on robust masonry gate pillars with crowning. Two 19th-century outbuildings, older than the current castle, are located on Gentstraat, both on one side adjoining another part of the castle garden wall.

The Ketelbossen

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Natuurpunt Waasland core South recently bought 'De Ketelbossen' (16ha). The start of a new nature point area in Waasmunster. It can thus evolve further into ecologically valuable forest. Within De Ketelbossen is also 'De Vaag', a play forest of the municipality of Waasmunster. The area consists of a long narrow strip of sparse grassland with beautiful old pedunculate oaks and various types of forest around it, together 10 hectares in size. Youth associations can also use a playground with a fire pit.
