Discover more about Malou Park

Malou Park, nestled in the Woluwe-Saint-Lambert municipality of Brussels, is a sprawling urban oasis steeped in history and natural beauty. As the municipality's oldest and largest park, it offers a diverse landscape that includes the valley of the Woluwe stream, a neoclassical château, and various recreational areas. The park's history dates back to 1774 when it featured fish ponds and a hunting lodge. In 1776, merchant Lambert de Lamberts built Château Malou, which was later named after Jules Malou, a prominent Belgian statesman who resided there in 1853. The château, now owned by the municipality, hosts cultural activities and exhibitions. The park boasts four principal recreation areas: a scenic walk along the brook and pond, a relaxation and culture zone around Château Malou, a botanical area showcasing diverse plant life, and a playground with a pirate ship. The Lindekemale watermill, a 12th-century structure on the park's northern side, now serves as a restaurant. Malou Park provides a refreshing escape from city life with green spaces, water features, and diverse flora and fauna.
