Ganshoren
Territory
Located in the northwest of the Region, this old farming district, long under the protection of Jette, is a peaceful residential commune. Covering an area of 2.5 square kilometres, Ganshoren is bordered by Koekelberg, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe and Jette.
A few farms can still be found just a few strides from Avenue Charles-Quint, the expressway to the coast. Ganshoren marsh, a nature reserve teeming with species of birds, lies at the boundary of Baudouin Park, located in the neighbouring commune. Château de Rivieren is just a little farther.
Facing Koekelberg Basilica, Elisabeth Park stretches 21 hectares, 9 of them in Ganshoren. The park, created by Léopold II, is a long public promenade, with a playground.
