Vrieselhof, Castle and provincial domain in Oelegem, Belgium.
The Vrieselhof estate encompasses 80 hectares of land featuring a castle, gardens, waterways, and natural landscapes managed by the Province of Antwerp.
The estate's name comes from Jan van Vriesele, who purchased the land around 1300, with the original castle structure being burned during World War I in 1914.
From 1977 to 1999, the castle housed the Provincial Textile and Costume Museum, preserving and displaying regional textile heritage for the public.
Visitors can access Vrieselhof at Schildesteenweg 95 in Ranst and contact the administration through phone number 03 312 98 78 for event bookings and information.
Three military bunkers from 1939-1940 and World War I trenches remain within the estate grounds, providing physical connections to Belgian military history.
