On the corner of Drève de Lorraine/Lorrainedreef and Avenue Van Bever/Van Beverlaan stands a grand residence in the picturesque style, now occupied by the Kazakh Embassy. This architecturally striking building featuring yellow brick and blue limestone, with red-brick stringcourses, includes two bow windows at the front, either side of a grand canopied entrance. Half-timbering adorns the gables and the many dormer windows. The property is surrounded by a huge park.

The Embassy will be hosting an exhibition entitled ‘Kazakhstan – Land of the Great Steppe’ showcasing traditional Kazakh clothing, a nomadic yurt, photographs of Kazakhstan and its modern architecture, people, nature and landscapes. You will also be able to view a unique book about the country with maps of the Central Asian region dating from the 16th to 19th centuries. This will give visitors a real insight into the historical and cultural heritage of Kazakhstan, Land of the Great Steppe.
