Kasteel Groenhoven, Medieval château in Malderen, Londerzeel, Belgium
Kasteel Groenhoven is a castle in Londerzeel featuring stone walls, multiple towers, and a surrounding moat. The building sits within a protected nature reserve offering walking paths and grounds to explore the estate's structure.
The castle was built in 1770 as a replacement for an earlier structure on a site first documented in 1138. The property changed hands and underwent various modifications throughout its long existence.
The château connects to Belgian nobility through families like le Cocq, known for their rooster heraldry, and later the Peñaranda lineage from 1863.
The estate offers walking paths, parking, and a chapel built in 1900 that are open to explore. Visitors can walk around the grounds at their own pace to view the building and its surroundings.
The castle served as a filming location between 2003 and 2011 for various productions, including the Belgian film Loft. This use made the property a backdrop for cinema before that period came to an end.
