Gooik
Kasteel Van Saffelberg
Architecte-paysagiste du jardin à la française · vers 1910
→Auguste-Louis Delvaux is a landscape architect active at the beginning of the 20th century. The inventory of parks and gardens of Belgium identifies him as the designer of the formal French garden laid out for the Château de Saffelberg, in Gooik, in the Flemish Brabant, around 1910: under the impetus of the renewed interest in geometric gardens, he created a regular garden in front of the château, at the same time as the landscape park was extended and a small pond was laid out. The garden is today partially preserved. The regional protection decree for the landscape zone also mentions his intervention at Saffelberg. The sources consulted do not give biographical details about his life.
