Beaulieu Castle, Baroque castle in Machelen, Belgium

The Beaulieu Castle features large windows across its front and back facades, constructed from locally sourced sandstone during the seventeenth century.

Count Lamoral II of Tour and Taxis commissioned architect Lucas Fayd'herbe to design the castle, which was built between 1653 and 1656.

Jean-Paul Bombarda, founder of the Theatre de la Monnaie, owned and resided in the castle from 1697 to 1712.

The castle underwent extensive renovation works starting in 2002, focusing on restoring the moat, roof, and facades to their original condition.

The Hercules Room received monument protection status in 1950, with the protection extending to the facades and entrance stairs in 1955.
