Attre Castle, Neoclassical castle in Brugelette, Belgium.
Attre Castle is a neoclassical residence set within a 17-hectare park. The grounds feature open fields, underground tunnels, and an artificial rock formation that rises 24 meters high.
Construction started in 1752 when Count Franeau d'Hyon decided to replace the medieval fortress with a new residence. His son later finished the building work.
The rooms showcase French design elements such as rice wallpaper, hand-painted Chinese silk, and Meissen porcelain. This decoration reflects 18th-century taste and shapes how the furnished spaces appear to visitors.
The best times to visit are weekends and holidays from April through October when guided tours are offered. The park can be explored at your own pace, though sturdy shoes are advisable due to uneven paths and the artificial hill.
Between 1782 and 1788, Maria-Christina of Austria visited this estate frequently, being the sister of Queen Marie-Antoinette. Her visits reveal connections between European royal families during that period.
