Kasteel Wissekerke, Medieval castle in Bazel, Belgium
The water castle stands at the edge of Bazel village center, featuring multiple wings, a gatehouse, and surrounding ponds connected to the Schelde River.
The original fortress from the 10th century transformed into a castle in the 13th century, with the current structure dating primarily to the 15th century.
The noble Vilain XIIII family resided in the castle for generations, serving as mayors of Bazel for 139 years until the mid-20th century.
The municipality of Kruibeke manages the castle since 1989, opening its doors for guided tours, cultural events, and exhibitions throughout the year.
The castle grounds include an 1824 iron suspension bridge designed by Jean-Baptiste Vifquain, recognized as the oldest remaining bridge of its type in Europe.
