Waterkasteel van Moorsel, Renaissance water castle in Moorsel, Belgium.
The rectangular castle features four brick wings organized around a central courtyard, with steep slate roofs and sandstone decorative elements.
Cardinal Abbot Karel van Croÿ commissioned the construction of this fortified residence between 1521 and 1526 as the seat of Moorsel lordship.
The castle exhibits the architectural evolution from medieval defense structures to Renaissance residential design through its modified windows and refined Italian details.
Access to the castle grounds starts at Moorsel church through a driveway, though the building remains closed to individual visitors.
The entrance tower displays a dated stone from 1526 with coats of arms representing the Coxie and Van der Noot families.
