Movers Grimbergen
Moving to Grimbergen
Grimbergen is a municipality north of Brussels, famous for its Norbertine abbey and its Grimbergen beer. The village centre around the abbey and the Kerkplein offers a historic setting with character homes. The sections of Strombeek-Bever, directly adjacent to Brussels, and Humbeek along the canal present very different profiles: dense residential in Strombeek, more open and village-like in Humbeek and Beigem. Family estates along the Brusselsesteenweg and the Vilvoordsesteenweg make up the bulk of the housing stock.
