Rivierenhof

  Rivierenhof, nestled in the district of Deurne, Antwerp, serves as a major public park that stretches over 156 hectares. Dating back to the 19th century, it was originally part of the estate of the baroness who owned the nearby Rivierenhof Castle. This expansive green space features a variety of walking paths, a rose garden with approximately 700 different types of roses, and a diverse collection of trees, including towering oaks and chestnuts. In the summer months, the park becomes a lively hub for picnics and outdoor events, attracting both locals and visitors. Make sure to look for the scenic ponds and the peaceful opera garden that provide a perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll.
