Built in 1908, the Dans Paleis is beautiful circular wooden tent, complete with elegant and ornate carvings, cut-glass mirrors, decorative fittings and an enormous chandelier holding more than 150 lamps.

The Dans Paleis travelled for over seventy years to fairs and festivities throughout Belgium and the southern provinces of Holland, before being extensively renovated by its present owner. It has since become a major attraction and venue at European Festivals.
