Rullingen Castle, Protected castle in Kuttekoven, Borgloon, Belgium.

Rullingen Castle is a brick building with a slate roof, stone trim and a square corner tower capped by a domed grey roof and finial. Its left facade is covered in dense red climbing vines, and two rows of white-mullioned windows run along the walls. A dark central door sits above a stone bridge with a balustrade over an arched underpass, with steps rising on the right.

The first recorded lord was Eggebert van Ruelingen, a vassal of Arnold II, Count of Loon, who died in 1138 or 1139. The medieval stronghold was probably replaced between 1623 and 1638 by a Meuse-style moated castle. A fire in 1920 destroyed the farm and a service wing; reconstruction lasted from 1921 to 1935, and the moats were partly filled.

The name Rullingen also appears as Rolengen, Rolenghem and Ruelingen in old records. The castle stands in the valley of the Herk, and a coach house was added in the 18th or 19th century; after the 1920 fire, a new coach house was built from the demolition material.

The castle now functions as a hotel where visitors can explore its historical architecture and gardens. Walking around the exterior grounds and the courtyard gives you a good sense of the overall layout and design.

The castle was bought in 1912 by ridder Pangaert d'Opdorp. After a 1920 fire destroyed the farm behind it and a service wing, the building was thoroughly renewed, the moat partly filled, and a new coach house built from the demolition material.
