Sterckshof, Renaissance castle in Deurne, Belgium
The red brick castle features moats, towers, an entrance gate, and formal gardens within the Rivierenhof park grounds near Antwerp.
The site originated as a fortified farm in the 13th century before Gerard Sterck purchased it in 1523 and transformed it into a noble residence.
From 1994 to 2014, the castle housed the Sterckshof Silver Museum, displaying Belgian metalwork collections from the 16th century onwards.
The castle stands 6 kilometers east of central Antwerp at an elevation of 3 meters, accessible through the public Rivierenhof park.
The current structure is a 1930s reconstruction based on historical photographs and archaeological findings after the original building fell into ruins.
