Vrieselhof, Castle and provincial domain in Oelegem, Belgium.
Description
Vrieselhof is a castle with adjoining gardens and woodlands on a large estate in Belgium's Antwerp Province. The property features multiple buildings, artificial waterways, and expansive green areas that are managed by the Province.
History
The estate was founded around 1300 by a wealthy family and played an important role in local society for centuries. The original building was destroyed in 1914 during World War I but was later reconstructed.
Culture
The estate name traces back to a wealthy merchant who acquired the land in the Middle Ages, and the landscape still bears traces of his family's influence. The gardens and woodlands are maintained by the Province today and serve as a venue for events and quiet time away from town.
Practical
The grounds are accessible by road and offer parking for visitors. You can contact the administration by phone to get information about events and opening times.
Did you know?
The grounds contain several military bunkers from the Second World War and trenches from the First World War that are still visible today. These remains show how both world wars affected the Belgian landscape.
