Icon description route Description

In 2024, it will be 100 years since painter Jean Brusselmans came to live permanently in Dilbeek. Take a short walk through the center and follow in Brusselmans' footsteps.

At the town hall of Dilbeek you start for a walk of 4.5 km with 8 signs along the way with explanations and reproductions of artist Jean Brusselmans. The route takes you to places where Brusselmans lived and worked, along heritage buildings and footpaths. So you walk past the house where he lived for years, the Castle de Viron and the Alenatoren which he painted and his protected grave in the cemetery of Dilbeek.

Tip: also listen to the podcast "Jean Brusselmans: How Dilbeek goes around the world thanks to this painter.
