Where to stay in Stokkel
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Putdaal Castle and the Church of Our Lady of Stockel are the two addresses the register gives Stokkel, which leaves a traveller picking a bed by convenience rather than by any concentration of sights. Brussels keeps the hotels. Work, family or the Sint-Jozefskerk at Wezembeek-Oppem just past the boundary are the reasons that put someone in a Stockel room instead of one nearer the centre.

About Stokkel
What are the main landmarks in Stokkel?
Putdaal Castle heads a very short list. The Church of Our Lady of Stockel is the parish building the record attaches to Stokkel, and the Sint-Jozefskerk stands just outside the district at Wezembeek-Oppem, which is as far as the inventory goes. Beyond the castle and its churches, the file adds nothing.
Whatever else Stockel holds sits unrecorded, so the walking here is residential rather than a circuit of monuments.
What is the history of Stokkel?
The register offers no year of foundation for Stokkel, which enters it as a district of Brussels rather than as a settlement with a charter, and what stands in place of a chronicle is a short roll of buildings. Putdaal Castle is one of them. The Church of Our Lady of Stockel is another, and the Sint-Jozefskerk listed at Wezembeek-Oppem shows how near the neighbouring municipality lies.
Where is Stokkel?
Stokkel occupies a residential corner of Brussels, with Wezembeek-Oppem and its Sint-Jozefskerk immediately beyond the district boundary.
