Westerlo is a municipality in Antwerp Province composed of seven towns spread across its area. The place blends rural farmland with historic buildings and everyday village life.

The Castle of Westerlo came under the control of the House of Merode in the late 15th century. A neogothic structure built between 1910 and 1912 now serves as the town hall.
