Le centre de Hoeilaart abrite le "Jan van Ruusbroecpark", un domaine qui comprend un château, la ferme du château et la chapelle Notre-Dame ("Onze-Lieve-Vrouwkapel").
Le château est un bâtiment néo-gothique issu de la période romantique, mêlant éclectisme et éléments naturels. Il date de 1858. En 1919, la commune acquit le château pour y établir son administration communale ("Gemeentehuis"). Un magnifique platane (Platanus Acerifolia) plus que centenaire trône devant sa facade.
Hoeilaart, principalement connue pour sa culture du raisin et pour son musée de la forêt ("Bosmuseum"), abrite aussi la zone verte de Groenendaal, attenante à la Forêt de Soignes qui s’étend sur pas moins de 1 183 hectares.
