About Floréal
Where to stay in Floréal
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The quarter reads as residential. Nothing in its protected register is a hotel: the entries run to houses, convent foundations, and churches, which sets the tone for a stay in Floréal. Château Sainte-Anne marks the calmest corner, with the Church of Our Lady of Blankedelle a short walk off.

About Floréal
What are the main landmarks in Floréal?
Château Sainte-Anne anchors the built heritage of Floréal, its house and grounds listed alongside the Church of Our Lady of Blankedelle and the convent foundations close by. Religious houses shaped the register. The Conventuelle Sainte Anne and the couvent des Sœurs de l'Eucharistie both carry protection of their own.
Twentieth-century building is recorded as well, in the Habitation double, the Habitation double moderniste, the Maison Mauresque - Moorse Huis, and the artist's home and workshop at Maison personnelle et atelier du peintre Oleffe. Le Logis-Floréal - maison joins them.
What is the history of Floréal?
The oldest thing on the map is not a building but a place: the site of the primitive village of Oudergem at Hertoginnedal, protected as a landmark rather than standing as one. Church buildings dominate the rest. Parish dedications to Sainte Anne and to Our Lady of Blankedelle sit near Château Sainte-Anne, a name the convent foundations of Floréal repeat.
Painting has a stake in it as well, through the Maison personnelle et atelier du peintre Oleffe, kept as the personal house and studio of the peintre Oleffe.
