Castral Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This tree-lined tower is the only remnant of the medieval castle. Its current appearance dates back to a 1512 renovation by Philip of Cleves. On the ground floor is a chapel with rood screen, extensively restored by Prosper van Arenberg, and a burial vault below. The ceiling has a remarkable wooden structure.

Château Empain

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Enghien Park originated in the Middle Ages and served for centuries as the residence of the lords, and later the Arenberg family. It played a central role in the development of the park and the city.
The original medieval castle was largely demolished at the beginning of the 19th century. The current castle, which you see in the park today, dates primarily from the 18th century and has a classical, austere style. It is now used by the city of Enghien for administrative, cultural, and ceremonial functions.

Pavilion of the Seven Stars

Highlight • Monument

The pavilion known as the Seven Stars, or Temple of Hercules, was built around 1650 by the Capuchin Father Charles of Brussels (i. E. Antoine d'Arenberg) at the highest point of the estate. It was a point of observation of the heavens, an observatory, designed at a time when astronomy took off again with the discoveries of Galileo and Copernicus. From this elevated point, it was possible to observe the horizon and the sky at 360 °.

Enghien Park

Highlight • Historical Site

The origins of the Enghien Park go back to the XVth century, when Pierre de Luxembourg, landlord of the resort, reconstructs the forest adjacent to the castle and converts it into a park. Two centuries later, in 1607, the domain was sold by Henry IV, King of France, to the noble family d'Arenberg.
