Westmalle Castle, Protected medieval castle in Westmalle, Belgium.

The castle features white stone walls, four circular towers at its corners, and stands in a green landscape north of Westmalle village.

Established around 1100 as a fortified farm, the structure transformed into a castle in 1561 under the ownership of Evrard de Cottereau.

The castle represents the architectural evolution from medieval defensive structures to refined noble residences in the Flemish countryside.

This private residence remains closed to visitors, but its exterior walls and towers are visible from the surrounding public roads.

The castle changed ownership through centuries between noble families, merchants, and barons before becoming property of Stichting Kempens Landschap foundation.
