Parks & gardens: De Michiels-dynasty

Did you know that the religious heart of Scherpenheuvel is also a masterpiece of garden architecture? During this guided walk, we dive into the story of the Michiels family, who turned Scherpenheuvel into a flourishing garden city. We start at Peeterskasteel and follow the trail of the Michiels brothers. Along the way, you will discover how the Michiels Frères garden company not only shaped the enclosed courtyard around the basilica, but also helped define the landscape of the entire city. A walk full of stories about craftsmanship, vision, and transience.
