Not just another of the hundreds of castles that can be seen in Belgium. Clearly one of my favourites in terms of architecture, although information inside the castle is virtually nonexistent. Seen from the outside it is beautiful and looks like the perfect set for a movie. A brief history of its history and refection is presented on large information boards right before the entrance. Not in English though. The fee is slightly too expensive for a castle that is basically totally empty. There is no furniture, no tapestry, no window panes, no souvenir shop, no toilets, no heating, no surveillance.

Nice authentic castle that had was restored over the years. Careful though with toddlers and small children as it is not safe. You can scan qr codes around the castle which gives you info of the place. They could also just put some carboards with that short info as well, as now you could see everyone listening to it via trheir phone on phone speakers. Reading would be easier….the views are nice. In one tower there was a lot of bird poo and it was smelly. We were in an out within one hour so it’s not that big. It was clean though. Toilets were clean as well, just missing soap and paper. Easy parking close by. There is also a tiny shop and a brasserie to...
