Belgian NextGen@Maison Frère-Orban
A hybrid meeting at the house to reconnect
Friday, 23 October 2026 · Brussels · From 18:30
We are delighted to invite you to the next gathering of the Belgian NextGen of Demeures Historiques & Jardins de Belgique, which I will have the pleasure of coordinating.
We will have the privilege of gathering at the Maison Frère-Orban, Rue Ducale 23, 1000 Brussels, a remarkable late-18th-century neoclassical residence, situated opposite the Parc Royal. The house was built in 1779 and was the family home of Walthère Frère-Orban, one of Belgium’s most influential 19th-century statesmen.
Many thanks to Guy de Selliers for hosting us and opening the doors of this remarkable family home to the NextGen.
