The Castle of Wannegem-Lede, or the Castle de Ghellinck d'Elseghem, is located in Wannegem-Lede. The Castle of Wannegem-Lede, also called the 'Petit Trianon' of Flanders, is an example of a late 18th-century 'maison de plaisance' in purely classicist or Louis XVI style. Barnabé Guimard designed it in 1785-86. He was a pupil of Jacques-Ange Gabriel and master builder of the Place Royale, the Parc de Bruxelles and the Palace of the Nation in Brussels. The park was created at the instigation of the German horticulturalist Hirschfeld. A memorial stone in the park reminds of this. The castle park includes a pond with islet, brown beech trees, exotic trees, an orangery and a pheasant cage. The castle domain and the castle are protected as a landscape and as a monument.
