A view of the park

Tenbosch (or Tenbos, meaning in the bush) is a public park in Ixelles ~ Elsene, Brussels. Formerly a privately-owned dendrological garden called Semet after its owner, Tenbosch is now a property of the Brussels-Capital Region.

Although relatively small (2 hectares, or about 2.5 acres), it is an exquisitely landscaped park popular among local residents. It is surrounded by a wall and offers an unexpected oasis of calm in a busy district.

A monument commemorating the Armenian genocide stands at the entrance to the park. Tenbosch is within a short walking distance of Avenue Louise / Louizalaan, the Ixelles Ponds, the Abbey of La Cambre / Ter Kameren, and the Bois de la Cambre / Ter Kamerenbos.
