Loppem Castle

Loppem Castle is a Neo-Gothic structure in Zedelgem featuring pointed arches, intricate stonework, and balanced proportions throughout its facade. Inside, rooms display preserved furnishings and artworks from the 19th century.

The castle was built between 1859 and 1862 for Baron Charles van Caloen. King Albert I of Belgium stayed here in 1918.

The castle holds collections of medieval art, Asian artifacts, and African objects spread throughout its rooms. You can discover these diverse pieces as you walk through the different spaces.

The castle opens to visitors from March through November, and groups can arrange tours year-round by booking in advance. Plan your visit during the open season for the best access.

The castle grounds contain a romantic park with an intricate hedge maze and ponds. This protected landscape provides a quiet setting outside the building.
