Waux-hall Park
Highlight • Natural
The name is derived from Vauxhall. It concerns a landscape park of 5 hectares, which was designed by the landscape architect Louis Fuchs. The garden was created at the request of a number of wealthy citizens between 1862-1864. Originally it was a private park, later it became a public park.
The park has an arboretum that contains some notable species such as the black walnut (Juglans nigra), the Byzantine hazel and a weeping lime and some very old trees.
There are also two ponds and lawns with hundreds of thousands of bulb plants. There are also statues from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Byzantine hazel in the park.
The tavern (Le pavillon principal), was designed by Joseph Hubert in guingette style. It is built on top of a fortress built by the Dutch after 1815 and which was part of the Dutch fortifications of the city of Bergen.
In 1892 the park became the property of the city of Bergen and you can find leisure activities such as tennis courts, a jogging track, rowing courses, playgrounds, a fitness room, et cetera.

Spanish House
Highlight • Monument
The building attached to the Spanish house is a 17th century brick structure, which was converted in the 19th century. The cross-section bays under lowered arches also have tiled sills. This building is clad with an outbuilding of the same type. The forecourt preceding these two buildings is closed by a low wall pierced by two doors made of recycled materials. The latter are surmounted by an acclaimed lintel where, to the right, silent shields and clover fleuron take place beneath a bay of mirrors.
