Kasteel Bloemendale, castle in Beernem, Belgium

Kasteel Bloemendale is a red brick building in Beernem, Belgium, built in 1878 by architect Louis Delacenserie. The castle features irregular forms with multiple turrets and chapels on the roof, arched windows, and elaborate stone decorations on all sides.

The d'Hanins de Moerkerke family owned the land in the 18th century, followed by the van Zuylen de Neyevelt family. Leonie Mulle de ter Schueren purchased the estate in 1875 and had the current castle built in 1878, before it later passed to her son Étienne and then to the Sap family.

The estate's park was laid out before 1862 and expanded in 1877 to a design by Egidius or Liévin Rosseels; around 1930 part of it was reworked into a more formal layout. Visitors can still find a boathouse and a cement grotto among the grounds. The Sap family, who bought the estate after 1936, has lived here for several generations.

The castle stands at Stationsstraat 70 in Beernem, on the south side of the railway line that cut the estate in two in 1838. The grounds are private and occupied by the Sap family, so the brick facades and the forecourt are seen from the public road; the park, with its boathouse and cement grotto, is not open to walkers.

The park's concrete grotto and boathouse survive from the landscape laid out before 1862 and enlarged in 1877 to a design by Egidius or Liévin Rosseels. Around 1930 part of the grounds was reworked into a more formal layout, so the grotto now sits among later, stricter lines.
