Kasteel van Oostkerke, Medieval castle in Oostkerke, Belgium.

The castle features two round towers from the 14th century at its entrance, positioned at the northeast corner of the former lower courtyard.

The first written record of Den Hove van Oostkerke dates to 1358, with the original structure consisting of an upper and lower courtyard surrounded by moats.

The castle grounds include a dovecote tower, which in medieval times only clergy and nobility received permission to construct on their properties.

The castle remains private property and public access is restricted except during specific organized events throughout the year.

Dutch landscape architect Mien Ruys redesigned the gardens in 1946, incorporating the ancient castle foundations into the walking paths.
