Braemkasteel, Protected castle in Gentbrugge, Belgium.

Braemkasteel stands at the end of a paved path framed by two brick gate pillars topped with dark stone urns. Its pale grey central section has three bays of tall white-framed windows and a dark entrance door, rising to a steep dark roof with dormer windows and a round tower capped by an onion-shaped dome. Two symmetrical red-brick wings flank it.

Hughe Braem and Isabelle Van Halewijn built the castle in the 14th century, when it stood on the Rietgracht, a defence belt around Ghent. Renovations in the 19th century gave it its present form. The Groverman de la Kethule family owned it in the early 20th century; Gentbrugge bought it in 1946 and used it as the town hall until 1974.

The name Braemkasteel recalls Hughe Braem, who built the castle with Isabelle Van Halewijn in the 14th century. The park around it honours Frans Toch, a former mayor of Gentbrugge. Since 2012 the building has housed the Academie de Kunstbrug Gent, formerly the Emiel Hullebroeck academy for music, word and dance, teaching part-time arts to all ages.

The castle stands in the Frans Tochpark in Gentbrugge, at the end of a paved path between two brick gate pillars topped with stone urns. The building houses the Academie de Kunstbrug Gent and is not open for tours; the park around it is freely accessible.

The castle stands in the Frans Tochpark, named after the last mayor of Gentbrugge, who was in office when the municipality bought the building in 1946. The park's name thus recalls the same period in which the castle passed into public hands.
