Come and experience the everyday existence, the artistic life and the local crafts and trades connected with this heritage site, through living workshops, concerts and guided tours, all carried out in a festive 1900s atmosphere. You will also learn about the plans to revitalise the site made by the municipality of Etterbeek as part of its Sustainable Neighbourhood Contract. These involve the creation of a multicultural meeting space where cuisine, culture and nature will go hand-in-hand, for the benefit of residents living locally and further afield.
