Kruikenburg Castle, Medieval castle in Ternat, Belgium
The stone castle features multiple towers and retains architectural elements from both medieval fortifications and eighteenth-century residential modifications.
The Lords of Wezemael constructed a watchtower at this location in the twelfth century due to its strategic position near the County of Flanders border.
The name Kruikenburg comes from stone carvings of jugs on the castle towers, with a new jug placed above the entrance to maintain this tradition.
The castle grounds and surrounding park remain open to visitors, while part of the building houses the De Brug primary school run by Christian Brothers.
A former underground passage between the castle and Saint Gertrude's Church now functions as a wine cellar beneath the property.
