Planning a walk on the estate
Mariemont estate, an open-air museum
Mariemont estate
The 45-hectare Mariemont estate is located 30 minutes from Charleroi and Mons and 1 hour from Brussels.
Designed in the 19th century in the style of an English country garden, it is now an open-air museum. Why not take a walk around the estate and admire its works of art, remarkable arboretum and historic buildings?
Opening times
Admission to the estate is free at all times:
- In summer (April - October): 8:00 to 19:00
- In winter (November - March): 8:00 - 18:00
Walking
Mariemont Estate is only partially accessible to people with reduced mobility due to its very uneven terrain. There are parking spaces in the street perpendicular to the tree-lined avenue at the entrance to the park. The museum has a lift.
Mariemont estate is classified as a bird sanctuary. For this reason dogs, even on leads, are not permitted.
Mariemont has Exceptional Heritage classification. Cars and bikes are therefore not permitted on the estate (with the exception of service vehicles).
Our walking routes
Open-air museum
A route combining the monuments and works of art of the Domaine & Musée royal de Mariemont.
Two new features in 2024 will punctuate the open-air trail: the redesign of the Japanese site with the reinstallation of its lanterns and monumental Torii, and the installation of Michelangelo Circo's work ‘La Vie’.
Duration: +/-1h30.
Totemus
Put on your trainers and get your fill of culture and sport, and discover the Adeps connected trail for a new Totem Hunt in the Domaine de Mariemont.
This hunt is being organised in collaboration with Adeps, the European Commission in Belgium and the Museum.
