The site of ‘de Muze’ has a long history. In 2006, the factory site was owned by a family that obtained a permit to build a nursing home. Characteristic of the site is its strategic location on the outskirts of Mechelen – between Mechelen, Brussels and the Dijle River. Located in the middle of a building block and on the edge of the village, the site provides a great view of the Dijle valley. The planting of trees transformed the factory site into a park. The new residential care center set up in the middle of this new park.
