Gors Castle, Protected castle in Gors-Opleeuw, Belgium.

Gors Castle is a white-painted brick mansion in Gors-Opleeuw, built around a 17th-century core and rebuilt in the 1820s in a classicist style. Its long south wing of eleven bays has a mansard roof, a central entrance stair with a portico, and a dome above, flanked by Ionic columns. The interior retains 18th- and 19th-century elements, including stucco signed by Petrus Nicolaas Gagini in 1788.

The castle was the seat of the Lords of Gorsleeuw, held by the Van Leeuw family in the 13th century and later by the Van Gelinden, Van den Bosch, Van Bodbergen and De Copis families. The oldest surviving part is a 17th-century U-shaped moated building in Maasland Renaissance style. Around 1820 Baron De Copis had it rebuilt as a Neoclassical whole to a design by M. Raskin, with part of the moats filled in and the rest turned into a pond. The 17th-century castle was demolished in the second half of the 19th century, leaving only its cellars and part of its core.

The castle reflects how Belgian noble families lived and decorated their homes during the 19th century. The rooms and their furnishings reveal the tastes and daily habits of that era.

Visitors can explore the castle with organized guided tours that can be arranged for groups. It is best to contact ahead to book a tour and confirm availability.

The park holds a 19th-century timber-framed bee house with brick infill, and a romantic tower ruin, a folly, built over an ice cellar. The south wing's rear facade still shows remnants of the 17th-century core, and one salon's stucco is signed by Petrus Nicolaas Gagini in 1788.
