De Pelichy Castle

De Pelichy Castle, Protected château in Gentbrugge, Belgium.

De Pelichy is a 19th-century castle in Gentbrugge with neoclassical architectural features and an adjoining park. The building maintains its original character with surrounding green space that invites exploration and quiet moments.

The structure was built in 1885 for Octave de Meulenaere following his marriage to the daughter of a major landowner. The 20th century brought shifts from private use to cultural and official functions before its current transformation.

The name comes from the de Pélichy family, who owned the estate from 1907; Juliette de Pélichy, its last bearer, lived here until 1953. The grounds once held greenhouses, a cold house and an aviary with the gardener's house. Since 2014 the Schoonheidsschool has occupied and renovated the building.

The castle itself is not open to the public; the park and pond can be visited, but the building is private. The estate lies on the Oude Brusselseweg in Gentbrugge, and the walled grounds with their gate and bridge are best viewed from the public road. The castle was sold in 2011 without the park and bought in 2014 by the Schoonheidsschool, which renovated it.

The original estate included cold storage facilities, greenhouses, and an aviary connected by a rampart with a bridge. These outbuildings reveal how extensive the rural compound once was before later development.
