Kasteel van Heetvelde, Water castle in Oetingen, Belgium.

The castle features a square keep with four levels, a two-story wing containing seven sections, and a prominent round tower on its northern side.

The fortress marked the boundaries between the Duchy of Brabant, County of Hainaut, and County of Flanders, serving as a strategic defensive position.

The castle includes Renaissance elements such as a fireplace decorated with the arms of Pieter Collins and a hearth plate dating from 1696.

The structure stands on private property surrounded by a moat, with access provided by a brick bridge featuring double round arches.

The defensive nature of the castle remains evident through preserved shooting holes in its walls, demonstrating its military engineering heritage.
