Lovely small garden just across from Our Lady of Sablon Church
Jardin du Petite Sablon is small yet delightful garden located across the street from the Church of Our Lady of Sablon. The garden was designed in Neo-Renaissance style with elegant landscaping, curved footpaths with seating benches and it is bursting with monuments. You will find bronze statues standing atop the stone pillars that surround the garden representing various guilds and industry. Within the garden grounds there are 10 life sized statues of 16th-century humanists and distinguished Belgians that are arranged in a semi-circle behind the beautiful fountain monument dedicated to martyred patriots, the Counts of Egmont and Hornes. It all makes for a pleasant place to enjoy an afternoon rest or to partake in monument viewing if that is cup of tea. You can conveniently pass by before or after taking in the Lady of Sablon Church across the street. A 15 minute walk around here should suffice.
