Rameyen Castle, Medieval castle in Berlaar, Belgium
The castle features a rectangular layout with a moated keep, defensive walls, gate buildings, and service structures spread across 71 hectares of land.
The fortress originated in the 13th century and belonged to Jan II Berthout of Berlaer in 1303, with its keep measuring 10 meters high.
Nicolaas Rubens, son of painter Peter Paul Rubens, acquired and restored the castle in 1643, maintaining ownership through his family until 1759.
The castle remains private property within the Gestel village area, surrounded by a long chestnut tree avenue leading to the entrance gate.
The castle underwent a complete restoration between 1996 and 2001, costing 12 million euros, yet its owners used it only several days per year.
