Kasteel van Laarne, Medieval castle and museum in Laarne, Belgium

The stone fortress features a central keep with round towers topped by stone pyramids, all surrounded by protective water-filled moats.

The castle's foundations originate from the 12th century, with Lord Giselbrecht de Zottegem becoming its master after marrying Mathilde de Béthune.

The castle houses collections of Brussels tapestries, 16th-century furniture, and historical silver pieces displayed across multiple exhibition rooms.

The castle grounds include a spacious lawn area that accommodates 1000 visitors, while the inner courtyard holds 80 people for events.

The castle bears marks from a 1382 fire when Ghent rebels attacked the building while the Count of Flanders was staying there.
