Kasteel d'Ursel, Classical castle and museum in Hingene, Belgium.
Description
Kasteel d'Ursel is a classically styled castle built from white stone with symmetrical wings and large window openings throughout. The structure features a central entrance and direct access to manicured gardens that frame the property.
History
The castle was designed in 1761 by architect Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni and served as a summer retreat for the d'Ursel family across more than three centuries. Its extended occupation by this nobility shaped the property and the collections found here today.
Culture
The castle has been home to the d'Ursel family for generations and remains a defining landmark in Bornem's landscape. Visitors encounter personal collections and artwork throughout the rooms that reveal how the nobility lived daily life in this region.
Practical
Guided tours through the interior rooms and gardens run from Tuesday through Sunday and cover various exhibition areas. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the rooms at a comfortable pace and take in the details.
