Hof te Melis

The Hof te Melis stands as a stately home with red brick walls, decorative stonework, and stepped gables characteristic of Flemish neo-renaissance architecture.

During the late 19th century, this residence emerged as part of the architectural movement that revived Northern European merchant design elements from the 15th to 17th centuries.

The building represents a period when Belgian architectural influences spread throughout Europe, particularly through exhibitions such as the 1878 World Exposition in Paris.

Located at Kasteeldreef 32 in Puurs-Sint-Amands, visitors can explore the estate grounds and observe the detailed preservation of traditional Flemish architectural elements.

The structure bears the designation number 2178 in Belgium's national heritage registry, marking its status as a protected monument within the immovable heritage category.
