[FR] Foudroyé, le "Marronnier du Tricentenaire" est devenu dangereux, ses branches ont été taillées à ras du tronc. A partir de celui-ci, l'artiste Cédric Faymonville, a créé une sculture originale à la tronçonneuse à l'occasion de la fête des Géants du 21 mars 2015.

La Ville de Nivelles a planté le même jour plusieurs jets provenant du Vieux Marronnier de la place de Baulers, âgé aujourd'hui 337 ans. Ce dernier jouit d'une reconnaissance à titre d'arbre remarquable de Wallonie. Il mesure 392 cm de circonférence et 15 m de haut. Il a été planté le 3 janvier 1680.
