Franc-Waret Castle, Heritage castle in Fernelmont, Belgium.
The stone castle features formal French gardens and an English style garden spanning 120 hectares, enclosed by a surrounding moat.
The original fortified farmhouse from the 13th century transformed into a residence when the de Groesbeeck family acquired it in the 16th century.
The interior rooms contain collections of antique furniture, silverware, porcelain, tapestries, and paintings, including works attributed to Brueghel.
The castle opens for visitors between 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on weekdays, with extended hours on Sundays.
The residential wing, constructed in the mid-18th century, exemplifies rural Louis XV architectural style with preserved drawbridge and angle-towers.
