Kasteel De Borght, Gothic Revival castle in Nekkerspoel, Belgium
The rectangular castle stands on a hill encircled by a moat, featuring corner turrets and a four-hectare park with gardens and paths.
The current structure, built in 1860 on foundations dating to the 15th century, replaced an earlier castle that burned down in 1756.
The estate represents the architectural traditions of Belgian nobility, combining Gothic Revival elements with Renaissance influences in its design and decoration.
The castle domain, located at Lakenmakersstraat 8 in Mechelen, will open its grounds to public access by 2027 while maintaining private ownership.
The basement preserves original features including a wine cellar, while the upper floors contain mosaic floors and mirrored glass doors.
