Hof ter Saksen

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.

The estate began as a medieval farm and hostel that was later transformed into a castle during the 18th century. Over the centuries the place carried different names before becoming known as it is today.

The grounds include a sensory garden and a collection of plants from medieval times that reflect local traditions. These areas show how people in the region once lived with nature.

The grounds are best explored on foot and offer the best conditions during spring and autumn months. Visiting during warmer weather allows more time to spend outside and see all the different areas.

An orangery on the grounds serves as a cafeteria and offers apple juice made from fruit grown in the estate's orchard. This drink is available only during warmer months and connects visitors with products from the land.
