Kasteel ter Ham, Medieval water castle in Steenokkerzeel, Belgium.
Built from white sandstone, Kasteel ter Ham features four corner towers and remains accessible only through two drawbridges spanning large ponds.
The first stone fortification appeared in the 12th century, with Filip Hinckaert reconstructing the current castle structure around 1500 using white sandstone materials.
Between 1929 and 1940, Austrian Empress Zita and her son Otto von Habsburg resided at the castle, hosting numerous European nobles within its walls.
The castle functions as a conference center near Brussels International Airport, offering spaces for business meetings and private celebrations throughout the year.
During World War II, German forces removed the castle's roofs and upper floors due to its proximity to the airport, alterations that remain permanent today.
