To the origins of the village
It was once home to the Hof te Crainhem, a tenant farm that was at the origin of Kraainem. Today, Jourdain Castle - named after Victor Jourdain, who bought it in 1899 - is a beautiful municipal banquet hall. The castle park exudes tranquility, with a pond where swans and ducks make their rounds.
Among the houses, you will discover other surprising heritage, such as the parish church of Saint Anthony (actually a pavilion of Expo '58), the large convent of the visitandinesses and the Bouvier-Washer district, a garden suburb built in the interwar period for war invalids. For a dose of culture, De Kam community center is the place to be.
"Park Jourdain is a lovely spot of green tranquility in the heart of the community."
