Attre Castle — Attraction in Brugelette

READ THIS: Don't listen to anyone who says this place is not worth visiting! I went to this place several times because it was so fantastic. It is NOT the chateau that is necessarily to be visited: I never went inside except to buy the tickets and get the map! I went all through the GROUNDS of the castle. AMAZING land!
