Beersel Castle, Water castle in Beersel, Belgium
The medieval fortress features a circular design with three large towers, surrounded by a moat filled with water from the nearby streams.
Built in 1300 under Duke Jean II of Brabant's authorization, the castle served as a crucial defensive structure protecting Brussels from threats.
The castle reflects medieval Brabantine military architecture through its brick construction, which was an innovative material choice during that period.
The castle opens its doors to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours that explain the medieval defensive systems and living quarters.
The castle housed a cotton manufacturing facility in the early 19th century before falling into abandonment and subsequent restoration.
