Gala Dinner on Thursday, 23 April 2015
The Orthopaedica Belgica 2015 Gala Dinner will take place at the ‘Château de
la Hulpe’ also known as the ‘Solvay Castle’. The castle was built in French style
by the Marquis de Béthune in 1842. Both the castle and estate were acquired
by Ernest Solvay in 1893, to make it his summer residence, hence its popular
denomination. Count Solvay trusted Victor Horta with the interior decoration.
Today the estate is owned by the regional government of Wallonia, and is
classified as an ‘Exceptional Heritage Site in Wallonia’.
While the grounds are open to the public, the castle itself cannot be visited,
unless…. you join us for the Gala Dinner and access the ground floor of the
Château, with its superb reception rooms – some more intimate like the Chinese
Room, some more stately like the Great Hall – together they make up a tranquil
and harmonious ensemble.
Separate registration is required. Rate per person: 75,00 € (until 15/03).
The number of seats is limited.
For questions regarding your hotel booking, please contact:
