Vordenstein Park
Highlight • Natural
Nothing remains of the castle, the last remains were demolished in 1946.
Only the orangery and outbuildings have been preserved.
The domain itself is approximately 110 hectares and is characterized by different landscape types.
Park area with scattered tree groups and ponds are English inspired. The forest area is laid out in French style and is laid out in a star shape. Drifts of oak and beech trees cross the park grounds. A green lung to the east of the big city of Antwerp. A great area to unwind.
Note: dogs are NOT ALLOWED, even on a leash. Neither two-wheelers are welcome. Bicycle parking is provided at the Kopstraat car park.

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

Peerdsbos Dairy
Highlight • Cafe
History: De Melkerij was active as a farm for 500 years, from 1420 to 1920.
This historic location is actually a farm surrounded by water, consisting of a stable house, bake house and barn.
Come and sniff the atmosphere of yesteryear yourself.

Monumental Linden Trees
Highlight • Natural Monument
The lime trees were presumably first managed for yield as coppice, so that the trees developed multiple trunks from the so-called water shoots.
All summer limes within a radius of 30 meters are included in the protection.
So it is NOT ALLOWED to climb in the trees no matter how tempting...
