Prinsenkasteel, Medieval castle ruins in Grimbergen, Belgium.
The castle ruins include remaining walls, a tower structure, and a moat within the verdant surroundings of Prinsenbos Park.
Built in the 14th century as a residence for the Lords of Grimbergen, the castle experienced destruction during German occupation in World War II.
The site presents an exhibition detailing 600 years of construction methods and architectural evolution through different historical periods.
