Kasteel van Meldert

The Château de Maillard exhibits Gothic revival elements with classical architectural features across its stone facades and multiple towers.

Built in 1845 under architect Hendrik Beyaert's guidance, the château transformed from a private residence into an educational institution known as Sint-Janscollege.

The building represents Belgian architectural evolution through its designation as vastgesteld bouwkundig erfgoed, marking its value to national heritage.

Located at coordinates 50.7807, 4.83564, visitors can observe the exterior structure while respecting its current function as an active educational facility.

The château underwent significant modifications after a fire in 1877, leading to renovations that enhanced its dual purpose as both castle and school.
