Borrekens Castle, Medieval castle in Vorselaar, Belgium.

The white sandstone castle features a square layout with fortified towers at its entrance and a protective moat surrounding the entire structure.

Knights Arnolf and Gerard Rotselaar constructed the initial fortress in 1270, serving as stewards for the Dukes of Brabant in the region.

The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval defensive structure to noble residence, incorporating neo-Gothic elements during the 19th century renovation.

While the castle remains private property, visitors can explore the forest paths around the moat at Vispluk 3 in Vorselaar.

The castle farm on the grounds dates to 1686 and underwent reconstruction in 1920 following damage from a substantial fire.
