History

  • After the French Revolution, Heylisse Abbey, built in the 12th century, was dissolved and mostly destroyed.  The abbot's house remained, and in 1870 was restructured into the present castle.
  • The castle and park were acquired by the Province of Brabant in 1962 and thereafter opened to the public
  • At the heart of the estate is the Musée d'interprétation archéologique, which offers a playful introduction to the local heritage from Prehistoric time to the Roman Conquest.
