Rumbeke Castle, Renaissance castle in Rumbeke, Belgium

The castle features Renaissance architecture with moated structures, while its 18th-century renovations introduced Neoclassical elements to the original 16th-century design.

During World War I, the German military commander Baron Manfred von Richthofen established his residence in the castle, which had previously endured damage from Louis XIV's invasion.

The 1975 film 'That Lucky Touch' selected Rumbeke Castle as a filming location, incorporating the historical structure into scenes with Roger Moore and Shelley Winters.

The castle interior opens exclusively during exhibitions, though visitors can explore the surrounding grounds and Sterrebos forest during daylight hours throughout the year.

The adjacent Sterrebos forest was designed in the 18th century to mirror Vienna's Prater park, creating a harmonious connection between the castle and its natural surroundings.
