Prinsenhof, Protected castle in Kuringen, Belgium.
The castle features four defensive towers surrounding a central building, with a moat containing clear water encircling the entire structure.
After the destruction of Looz Castle in 1232, the Counts of Looz established their residence at Château de Curange, making it their administrative center.
The castle grounds became a center for regional governance where Emperor Charles V conducted two official visits during the 16th century.
The property, acquired by the city of Hasselt in 1984, now functions as office space for municipal services and administrative operations.
Prince-Bishop Érard de La Marck transformed the military fortress into an elegant residence with decorative statues and water features in the early 1500s.
