The Malou Park and its 18th-century castle, a typical second home of the Brussels aristocracy. Since then, the building has been used for cultural events, seminars, etc. In front of the castle you will see the Roaring Lion. Is it also from the 18th century? No, it is a work by animal artist de Meester de Betzenbroeck (not a pseudonym) from 1858. He produced other timeless works such as ‘Playing Bear’, ‘Grunting Tiger’ and ‘Licking Foal’. The Lion was created for the Brussels World’s Fair as a symbol of Belgian confidence. Nowadays, he would perhaps have thought up a ’Twittering bird’?
