Heers Castle, Medieval castle in Heers, Belgium.

The castle consists of four wings arranged around a square courtyard, featuring late Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements and stone embellishments.

First documented in 1328, the castle experienced destruction during conflicts, with the current structure rebuilt around 1500 following attacks by Charles the Bold.

The castle includes a chapel with 18th-century stucco work and Louis XVI period decorative elements that reflect the architectural preferences of past noble residents.

The Flemish government acquired the castle in 2021 and granted a 35-year lease to the heritage foundation Herita for preservation and restoration work.

The fortress employed a sophisticated double moat defense system, with one moat encircling the castle and another encompassing both the castle and farm buildings.
