Papenkasteel, Renaissance castle in Uccle, Belgium.
The Papenkasteel features ornate details, classic proportions, and a distinctive tower offering views across its gardens from its Renaissance-era structure.
Built between 1685 and 1688 by Brussels lawyer Philippe-Vincent Franckheim, the castle stands as a testament to 17th-century noble residences.
The castle housed an artists' community in the early 20th century, including violist Germain Prévost and French painter Abel Gerbaud.
Free parking spaces are available along Rue Papenkasteel 99 in Uccle, where visitors can leave their vehicles without time restrictions.
The castle grounds contain a pond that served as the final retention basin for water mills along the Geleytsbeek stream.
