Charle-Albert Castle, Protected heritage castle in Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium
The Charle-Albert Castle presents Flemish Neo-Renaissance architecture with ornate details, symmetrical design, and carefully crafted exterior decorations dating from 1877.
Initially designed and inhabited by architect Charle-Albert until 1892, the castle later served as a girls' school and residence for Belgian Prime Minister Paul van Zeeland.
The castle represents late 19th-century architectural preferences of Belgian nobility, incorporating elements from traditional Flemish design into grand residential structures.
Following extensive renovations completed in 2014, the castle remains a private property, with viewing limited to its exterior from Avenue Charle-Albert.
The castle underwent a 6-million-euro restoration project, with the Brussels Region providing more than half the funding to preserve its architectural elements.
