Hof ter Saksen, Protected castle estate in Beveren, Belgium.

Hof ter Saksen is a castle with grounds in Beveren set within a large park containing an arboretum, fruit orchard, and several garden types. The stone structure sits surrounded by walking paths that lead through these different areas.

In the Middle Ages the estate was called Shaecx, after the Noethaeckx family; Margareta Noethaeckx is recorded as owner in 1365. It passed through the Van Kalken and Vijd families before Jean-Baptist Versmessen bought it in 1781 and had the old buildings demolished around 1804 for a neoclassical castle. The farm and orangery followed in 1812, and the exterior was restored between 2004 and 2007.

The estate's name comes from the medieval 'Shaecx', after the Noethaeckx family who held the fief. The farmstead built in 1812, called 'Ter Hoeve' by its last owners, now has a courtyard open to the public, while the restored orangery serves as a café.

The estate is entered on foot; the courtyard of the 1812 farm is open to the public, while the farm building itself is used by the garden operator as a storage area. The orangery, restored in 2007, now serves as a café. The brick ice cellars further on the grounds are closed by wooden doors and are still used by hibernating bats, so they are not entered.

The orangery, built in 1812 for Jan-Baptist Vermessen, once sheltered thousands of exotic plants through winter and now serves as a café. Nearby, brick ice cellars closed by wooden doors stored ice cut in winter from the pond around the castle; cleared of rubble around 1987, they were found to shelter bats, which still winter there.
