Château du Karreveld, Protected heritage castle in Molenbeek, Belgium
The castle stands within a three-hectare estate, featuring traditional architecture with a blend of manorial and farming elements around a central courtyard.
First documented in 1253 through a donation act by Duke John I of Brabant to his wife Margaret, the estate changed ownership multiple times across centuries.
The castle functions as a municipal cultural center, hosting the annual Festival Bruxellons from July to September with theater performances and musical events.
The castle welcomes visitors daily from 09:00 to 17:00 and connects to Brussels public transport through Osseghem metro station on lines 2 and 6.
In 1912, the castle grounds housed Belgium's first film studio, where director Alfred Machin established a workshop and small zoo for movie productions.
