Discover the nature reserve. It is protected by the RD 30/7/96 with a surface of around 3 ha. It is a meadow and swampland that for about six months during the winter is largely underwater and a stop or wintering area for migratory water birds (observation post available). In summer the area is extensively grazed by a small herd of galloway cattle. Information panels in Dutch at the entrances. It is located on the left bank of the brook Zuunbeek (access via Hoogstraat (street) at number 35).
The castle park has roses from all over the world in the centre of the town. The castle building houses a municipal cultural centre.
This concrete television tower is 302 meters high, dominates the regional landscape, and can be seen from far away. The tower was built between 1991 and 1994 for the regional Flemish television channel VRT to improve the television reception in Brussels. It is often called the VRT Tower. A birdbox on the tower is occupied by a peregrine (Falco peregrinus) since 2005 and produced four chicks each year.

Belgium is known for its chocolate. The factory of a famous brand Neuhaus is in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. In this small outlet shop you can taste and buy second class chocolate. Honestly, the taste is not different but the price is a real bargain. One kilo for €14 when a kilo normally costs €54.
Take the bus number 170, which terminates at Pastorijstreet in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and run by De Lijn from Brussels-South railway station.
