Château de Cambron, Neoclassical château in Brugelette, Belgium.

The Château de Cambron features twenty-one bays across five levels, with a main facade constructed from limestone and painted bricks.

The property was first documented in 751 when Pepin the Short returned it to the Abbey of Saint-Denis, later becoming a Cistercian abbey in 1148.

The entrance gates display intricate ironwork bearing the DVB initials, representing the Count du Val de Beaulieu family who owned the property.

The château now forms part of Pairi Daiza animal park, with its ancient abbey buildings repurposed for modern visitors.

The castle's basement, transformed into an aquarium, connects to a lake through a monumental staircase built in 1776.
