Kasteel van Loye, Medieval water castle in Lummen, Belgium
The castle features a U-shaped layout with a rectangular courtyard, central water well, and stone bridge crossing over the protective moat.
Built in 1429, the castle served as residence for noble families including van Horion, Van Elderen, and De Fabribeckers de Cortils et Grâce.
The structure combines Gothic architecture with Maaslands Renaissance from 1649 and Classical influences from 1784, reflecting regional building traditions.
The castle remains private property with limited access, though visitors can view the chapel during May through designated pathways.
The east facade contains painted trompe-l'oeil windows, created to avoid historical luxury taxes imposed on window surfaces.
