The Bois de la Cambre was designed in 1862 by the German architect Edouard Keilig. The style of the park is very English, a garden concept that originated in England at the beginning of the 18th century. These gardens try to imitate nature as closely as possible. The bushes and trees are planted in a very irregular way. Nowadays, the Bois de la Cambre is a green lung in Brussels and one of the favorite parks for leisure activities.
