Waux-hall Park

Highlight • Natural

Waux-hall or Wauxhall is the name of a landscape park with a restaurant in Mons in the Belgian province of Hainaut, located outside the city center.
The name is derived from Vauxhall. It concerns a landscape park of 5 hectares, which was designed by the landscape architect Louis Fuchs. The garden was created at the request of a number of wealthy citizens between 1862-1864. Originally it was a private park, later it became a public park.
The park has an arboretum that contains some notable species such as the black walnut (Juglans nigra), the Byzantine hazel and a weeping lime and some very old trees.
There are also two ponds and lawns with hundreds of thousands of bulb plants. There are also statues from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Byzantine hazel in the park.
The tavern (Le pavillon principal), was designed by Joseph Hubert in guingette style. It is built on top of a fortress built by the Dutch after 1815 and which was part of the Dutch fortifications of the city of Bergen.
In 1892 the park became the property of the city of Bergen and you can find leisure activities such as tennis courts, a jogging track, rowing courses, playgrounds, a fitness room, et cetera.

Old Fire Station

Highlight • Historical Site

This building was built in the 19th century. It was part of the cavalry barracks complex in the adjacent block.
The fire brigade, which until then had been housed in the town hall, took these barracks into use after the Second World War, before moving into a new barracks on the outskirts of the city in 2003.
Since 2015, the building has been home to the Arsonic concert hall.

Belfry of Mons

Highlight • Monument

Large in size (87 meters), large in its history (it has resisted wars and epidemics for centuries), and large in what it releases. The only baroque style belfry in Belgium, recognized by UNESCO since 1999, it is a remarkable architectural vestige.

It is also a museum, accessible from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Pillory Fountain

Highlight • Monument

Three of the fountain wells that adorned the squares of Mons at the time are still preserved.
This is the case with the fountain pillory in Louis XIVth style that we find here.
It was built in 1779 by Ouvertus and is in blue stone.
It was moved several times and underwent restoration in 1930 and again in 1980.

Mons Station

Highlight • Structure

The building, completed in 1952, was demolished in 2013 and the entire yard has since been renovated to make way for a new station designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. Completion originally planned for 2015 to mark the celebration of Mons as European Capital of Culture in that year has still not been completed.
