Egmontkasteel, Protected medieval castle in Zottegem, Belgium.
The Egmont Castle stands within Egmontpark, featuring restored medieval elements including a knight's hall and a rococo staircase.
Originally built in the 11th century, the castle gained prominence when Lamoraal van Egmont acquired it before his execution by Spanish forces in 1568.
The castle now functions as Zottegem's public library, hosting civil ceremonies and municipal meetings in its restored medieval halls.
Recent restoration work from 2022 to 2024 enhanced the castle's structure, including improvements to the roofing and facades.
Archaeological excavations in 2001 revealed three ancient structures, including a stone keep and a 12th-century chapel beneath the current building.
