Peerdsbos Forest
Highlight • Forest
The name 'Peertsbusch' first appeared in an account from 1431 - 1432. The Peerdsbos was part of the Bremdonck domain, which consisted of fields, meadows and forest for timber and firewood and which was donated to the Antwerp Saint-Elisabeth Hospital by Isabella van Breda in 1280. Large parts of the domain were sold and parcelled out, which resulted in the creation of the Park of Brasschaat, among other things.
Info, can be read at the Schoten domain entrance
