Poeke Castle, Neoclassical castle in Aalter, Belgium

The castle features pink facades and stands on a 56-hectare estate with water surrounding the structure, accessible through front and rear bridges.

The first fortification appeared in 1139, while the current structure underwent major modifications between 1743 and 1752 under Charles Florent Idesbald de Preudhomme d'Hailly.

The municipal government acquired the castle in 1977, transforming it into a center for cultural meetings, concerts, and exhibitions within East Flanders.

Guided tours require advance reservations through Toerisme Vlaanderen, while the surrounding park remains open from sunrise to sunset for public exploration.

The estate contains specialized structures including a dog kennel, bakery oven, horse stables, coach house, caretaker's residence, farm, and carburetto.
