Kasteel Lakebossen, Gothic Revival castle in Ruddervoorde, Belgium
The red-painted iron gates between brick pillars lead to a grand Gothic Revival building featuring an octagonal vestibule and ornate architectural details.
Construction of the castle began in 1869 under the direction of architect Jean-Baptiste Bethune, commissioned by knight Eugène van Outryve d'Ydewalle and his wife.
The castle interior contains two preserved neogothic salons with original fireplace designs and ceiling paintings that reflect 19th-century Belgian aristocratic tastes.
The castle grounds include landscaped paths lined with rhododendrons, a water body, and an orchard of walnut trees for visitors to explore.
The former stables of the estate were transformed into a textile manufacturing facility that produced down comforters under the brand name Lakebos.
