Burcht Herzele, Medieval castle ruins in Herzele, Belgium.
The castle remains feature a preserved corner tower spanning three floors, with visible foundations of former gate towers and curtain walls throughout the site.
The original wooden structure from the 7th century was replaced by a sandstone fortress in the 11th century under the rule of Count Boudewijn V.
The castle grounds now serve as a central gathering space within the town park, where the community holds the annual Burchtconcerten festival.
The castle ruins stand in the center of Herzele along Kerkstraat, with regular visits occurring during lunchtime and early evening hours.
The castle contains a dungeon situated in the middle of the town, with its tower restored over three levels despite the overall ruinous state.
