Castle of 's Gravenwezel, Residential castle in Schilde, Belgium.

The Castle of 's Gravenwezel features arched windows, stone bridges, and a U-shaped bailey surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens with Rhododendron bushes.

Built as part of Antwerp's defense line, the castle's oldest sections date to the 14th century, with major renovations by architect JP van Baurscheit in 1740.

The castle houses an extensive art collection and demonstrates the evolution of Belgian architecture from medieval fortification to modern residential estate.

The castle maintains a vegetable garden and includes an orangery with a pool, offering opportunities for outdoor dining on the terraced areas.

Art dealer Axel Vervoordt transformed the garden into a prairie-style landscape featuring Heleniums, Achilleas, and Echinacea alongside structured boxwood formations.
