Groot-Bijgaarden Castle, Medieval castle in Dilbeek, Belgium.
The castle features a wide moat surrounding its red brick structures, with a five-arched bridge leading to the main entrance gate.
Built in 1110 for Almaric de Bigard, the first lord of Bigard, the castle underwent major modifications during the 14th and 17th centuries.
The castle represents a combination of Medieval defensive architecture and Flemish Renaissance design elements, with white stone windows and blue slate roofing.
Visitors can access the castle gardens from early April to early May between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with adult tickets priced at 9 euros.
The castle grounds contain a 14-hectare park designed by Louis Fuchs, displaying over one million flowering bulbs during the annual spring exhibition.
