Loppem Castle

Loppem Castle features pointed arches, detailed stonework, and symmetrical architecture, complemented by decorated interiors with preserved 19th-century furnishings and artworks.

Built between 1859 and 1862 for Baron Charles van Caloen, the castle served as the residence of King Albert I of Belgium in 1918.

The castle maintains a collection of medieval art pieces, Asian artifacts, and African objects, displayed throughout its rooms and galleries.
