Kasteel Couthof

The castle features thirteen bays across two and a half stories, displaying neoclassical architecture with a slate roof and symmetrical window arrangements.

Built in 1763 by Jean Francois de Sales de Mazeman as a summer residence, the estate's origins trace back to 1350 with the Van Hoorn family.

The castle represents the evolution of Belgian aristocratic residences, combining residential comfort with agricultural management through its connected service buildings.

The castle sits within a landscaped park containing walking paths, a pond with an iron bridge, and gardens divided by walls for fruit cultivation.

The property includes an ice cellar topped with a neoclassical pavilion, demonstrating early food preservation methods of the Belgian nobility.
