Moorsel meeting center

In the heart of the Belgian village of Moorsel, a long-abandoned 18th-century rectory estate has been transformed into a vibrant public space, fulfilling the community’s long-standing need for a versatile gathering place. The once-enclosed walled garden is now open for villagers to enjoy, while new additions, such as a multipurpose hall and community building, allow for diverse activities. The serene rectory garden, with its open lawn and numerous trees, now serves as a park, adding a much-needed green oasis to Moorsel’s predominantly paved village center.
