thumb|Groot-Bijgaarden Castle thumb|Groot-Bijgaarden Castle's bridge and gatehouse Groot-Bijgaarden () is a village and deelgemeente in the municipality of Dilbeek, a suburb of Brussels, in Flanders, Belgium.
==Toponymy== The name Bijgaarden is derived from the Germanic word for enclosure. The appellation "Great" (Groot) was attached to distinguish it from the smaller Klein-Bijgaarden nearby, now in the municipality of Sint-Pieters-Leeuw.
