This Brukselbinnenstebuiten à la carte walk will take you through Neder-Over-Heembeek, a somewhat forgotten corner of the capital. And a characteristic example of a village that has been swallowed up in a city. Since their appearance in the twelfthcentury , the villages of Neder-Heembeek and Over-Heembeek were oriented towards agriculture. Following the development of the Willebroek Canal in thesixteenth century, a pleasure garden and second homes were built for the nobility. During the widening of the same Canal in thenineteenth century and early twentiethcentury, the industry also settled there. This is why, one hundred years later, the City of Brussels annexed the two entities united under the name of Neder-Over-Heembeek. Brussels has since nurtured great plans for the area, and yet the village has continued to live.
This walk takes you to discover ambitious infrastructures, small stories and surprising green spaces.
