Must see place in East Flanders province in the colors of autumn : the Ooidonk castle, maybe one of the most beautiful castles of Belgium
(Browse the collection : Province of East Flanders time lapse and video stock footage)
The little-known Ooidonk castle is mostly seen from the other side of the moat by people enjoying the picturesque Ooidonk walking trail in Deinze. But visitors can access both the 16th-century castle and its gardens through the gate at the northwest end of the domain. The gardens are accessible, and the castle will be open to visitors from July to November
The outer view, the towers especially, crow-step gables and many chimneys evoke the images of Loire castles such as Chambord. The castle was brought into the modern age in 1870 without removing the original renaissance style and was opened to the public from 1958 on. The castles interior is filled with precious furniture, silver, paintings and family portraits.
(Afar)
The castle of Ooidonk is nothing short of a hidden gem in Belgium! This lavish castle is not only worth a visit because of its buildings but is surrounded by large, beautifully maintained castle grounds that are often home to exhibitions. This medieval fortress that has been rebuilt in renaissance style is still home to the count and countess t’Kint de Roodenbeke and their 3 children. The owners do not only maintain it but they also open it up to the public in all possible ways.
