Elzenwallekasteel, Protected castle in Voormezele, Belgium.
The castle features concrete construction with exterior walls designed to accommodate climbing plants and a prominent tower overlooking the surrounding countryside.
During World War I, the original structure served as a strategic position, with German forces occupying upper floors while British troops utilized the basement.
The castle represents Belgian architectural innovation from the 1920s, combining traditional château design with modern construction techniques developed by architect Ernest Blerot.
Located near Ypres, the castle stands as a testament to post-war reconstruction, built using concrete made from stones of the previous destroyed structure.
The castle incorporated advanced features for its time, including floor heating systems and water recycling technology planned alongside an unrealized wind turbine project.
