Kasteel Carpentier

Kasteel Carpentier presents an irregular floor plan with a central facade featuring a terrace between two gables and a small tower on the right side.

Built in 1883 for Baron Carolus De Beughem, the castle changed ownership to Pierre Carpentier before being expropriated in 1920 for a broadcasting station construction.

The estate forms part of Sint-Pietersveld, a protected cultural historical landscape in West Flanders, representing late 19th-century Belgian architectural heritage.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds through a 7-kilometer hiking route that connects the surrounding areas of Wingene and Ruiselede.

During World War II, the German military installed anti-aircraft artillery on the castle tower for defending against enemy aircraft.
