The park hosts two very significant constructions designed by the French architect Alexandre Marcel and erected under the kingdom of Leopold II. The Japanese Tower (1905) and the Chinese Pavilion (1910) are illustrations of fin-de-siècle Orientalism and cultural imperialism. A Walk with… premiered at La Loge in Brussels in 2014.
