Tervuren Essentials

Once a royal hunting ground for the Dukes of Brabant, Tervuren centers on its expansive 200-hectare park and the neoclassical AfricaMuseum. This collection features the archaeological ruins of the medieval Tervuren Castle and the 18th-century Sint-Hubertuskapel. Architectural highlights include the Sint-Jan-Evangelistkerk, a church with 13th-century origins. For refreshments, the list includes Het Spaans Huis, a historic mill building situated near the park’s ponds that now operates as a café with outdoor seating.
