Ooidonk Castle, Renaissance château in Deinze, Belgium.
The Ooidonk Castle rises from a bend of the Leie River, featuring Hispanic-Flemish architecture with onion-shaped towers and gabled crenels.
Built in 1230 as a fortress to protect Ghent, the castle was reconstructed in 1595 by merchant Martin della Faille following destruction during religious conflicts.
The castle maintains its role as a private residence for the Count t'Kint de Roodenbeke family while preserving centuries of Belgian architectural heritage.
Visitors can tour the castle from April through September on Sundays between 14:00 and 17:30, with separate garden access available throughout the year.
The castle incorporates Spanish Renaissance elements into traditional Flemish architecture, resulting from the influence of Belgian-Spanish relations during the 16th century.
