Waterkasteel Hof van Veltwijck, Water castle in Ekeren, Belgium
The Waterkasteel Hof van Veltwijck features a U-shaped layout with towers, sandstone window frames, and a moat crossed by an arched bridge.
First documented in 1565 as a pleasure residence, the castle underwent major renovations in 1656 under Lucas van Opmeer and again in 1754 under C. De Winter.
The structure represents a blend of architectural elements from the 16th to 19th centuries, combining traditional brick and sandstone construction methods.
The castle, located at Veltwijcklaan street, served as a town hall from 1930 and currently stands empty while awaiting restoration plans.
The property encompasses 25,121 square meters of protected cultural landscape, including water channels, pavilions, and historic garden elements.
