Landscape
The Castle Parks mainly consist of the three former castle domains Vogelzang, Middelheim, and Den Brandt. Together, they are called the Nightingale Park, named after the tavern at the corner of Middelheimlaan and Beukenlaan. At the southeastern edge of the park, there are several campuses located (a hospital, two university locations, and a theological center), which are also considered part of this landscape. All these functions, together with sports activities and the museum, ensure that this landscape has significance that extends well beyond the city limits. Nevertheless, it primarily remains a park for the various neighborhoods around it. The landscape is a true ‘three-district point’: the greenery lies within the territory of Antwerp, but most people around it live in Berchem and Wilrijk.
