Kasteel Mijl Eke

The main building stretches across six bays and three stories, featuring a mansard roof and symmetrical facade with rectangular windows and stucco decorations.

First documented in 1782 as a moated villa with a farm, the property transferred ownership from the Coene family to the Claus family in the mid-19th century.

The entrance gate exhibits neo-Louis XVI architectural style with decorated square pillars topped by pine cone sculptures, reflecting Belgian design preferences.

The castle underwent complete reconstruction between 2009 and 2012, restoring its original form under the direction of investor Marc Coucke at Lembergsesteenweg 19.

Multiple bridges span across park ponds, including an iron arch bridge, while a rectangular ice cellar from 1858 remains at the southeastern corner.
