Ravenhof Castle, Medieval castle in Torhout, Belgium.

Ravenhof Castle is a red brick complex in central Torhout, with a grey tiled roof and a tall slender spire capped in grey. The lower left wing has a steep gable, a small round window and a yellow-rimmed arched door flanked by yellow-framed windows, with a small balcony above. The central tower has narrow vertical windows and a small flag; a large blank brick wall with a rounded arch outline and a patch of ivy stands to the right.

A castle stood here from the 13th–15th centuries; the present building rose in the 16th century on its predecessor's foundations, with an upper and lower courtyard. In the 17th century the Decuypere family, who ran Torhout's largest linen bleaching works, lived here; the 18th century brought the de Potter family. In 1863 doctor René Van Oye started a flax-scutching and linen factory in the building, and between 1850 and 1874 he built workers' houses nearby. Oscar Hostyn bought the property in 1906 and installed a shoe factory; German soldiers were lodged here during the First World War. The city restored it in 1993–1994.

The upper floors hold the Museum of Torhout Pottery, opened in 1997, and the Stedelijke Gildekamer, the town's guild chamber. The museum displays Torhout earthenware; the guild room recalls the craft guilds that regulated local trades.

The ground floor functions as a tourist information office that provides access to the castle's interior spaces and exhibits. Throughout the grounds, informative panels guide visitors as they explore both the building and surrounding gardens.

The castle's interior dates from 1912–1913, when Oscar Hostyn, who bought the property in 1906 and ran a shoe factory there, had it refitted. The Louis XVI drawing room holds painted canvases depicting the days of the week, a detail of that refit.
