The Ganshoren swamp is a nature reserve in the Brussels municipality of Ganshoren. The eleven hectare area is owned by the Brussels-Capital Region. Originally, Jette's Marsh was part of this swamp, but in 1881 the swamp area was divided into two parts by the construction of railway line 60. Since 1989, the Jette Marsh is part of the King Baudouin Park (third phase).
Due to a desiccation of the area since the 1950s, the 'swamp' today consists mainly of wet meadows.
