Kasteel van Bokrijk, Neo-Renaissance castle in Genk, Belgium.

The castle features limestone cornerstones, wrought iron wall anchors, and rectangular doors within its brick construction, arranged around a square courtyard.

Built in 1898 by Count Ferdinand de Meeûs after acquiring the estate from Edgar Maris, who initiated construction in 1891 but faced financial difficulties.

The castle forms part of the protected cultural landscape of Provinciaal Domein Bokrijk, registered as architectural heritage since February 2018.

Located at Bokrijklaan 6-8, the castle now functions as a meeting space for the Province of Limburg and businesses following its 2008 renovation.

The estate previously housed one of the largest poultry farms of its time, managing 10,000 chickens alongside agricultural experiments in the early 20th century.
