Herlegem Castle, 17th-century château in Kruishoutem, Belgium.

The château stands on the Zaubeek River with surrounding moats and features an access bridge connecting to its southern entrance point.

Dating from potential Frankish settlements in the 5th century, the Van Pottelsberghe de la Potterie family has maintained ownership of this estate since 1680.

The interior vestibule displays Ionic columns with decorative denticles, while the door panels contain stucco work attributed to Joseph Moretti.

The property includes a rectangular kitchen garden enclosed by moats and maintains an orchard within its grounds for agricultural purposes.

The château represents Louis XVI architectural style and received official designation as architectural heritage in 2023.
