Nestled between the Flemish Ardennes and the Lys Valley, Lozer Castle is a historic gem. Owned by the della Faille d’Huysse family since 1654, it is now in the hands of the tenth generation.

PRESENTATION

Transformed in the 18th century in a neoclassical style, the castle is set within a stunning 13-hectare park, designed in the 1880s by renowned landscape architect Friedrich Eduard Keilig.

The estate features tranquil ponds, winding pathways, and charming outbuildings– including a garden pavilion and a farmhouse – while a double avenue from the castle walls leads to a church from the nineteenth century.

Nestled in a bend of the Lys River, just a few kilometers from Ghent, Ooidonk Castle is regarded as a gem of flamboyant Renaissance architecture. Surrounded by moats and lush gardens, it offers a haven of peace and serenity, despite its turbulent past.

PRESENTATION

In the 16th century, the castle belonged to Philip de Montmorency, Count of Horn, and an ally of William of Orange. After his execution in 1568, the castle suffered repeated destruction during the Wars of Religion. It was later rebuilt in Renaissance style by Maarten della Faille, a wealthy Antwerp merchant.

In 1864, Senator Henri t’Kint de Roodenbeke and his wife, Zoé de Naeyer purchased the estate. Today, 150 years later, their descendant, Count Henry t’Kint de Roodenbeke, still lives there.
