Description

This is the only Belgian castle whose outside and inside are still in their original state. Baron Charles van Caloen had it built between 1859 and 1862 and gave the then very popular neo-Gothic a Flemish touch. This castle played an important role in our national history. In 1918 the headquarters of the Belgian army and the so-called 'Government of Loppem' were located here. Even King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth stayed there! And yet the Castle of Loppem stands firmly with its feet in the present. You can not only take a look inside but also stroll in the English landscape park or get lost in the 19th-century green maze, laid out for the noble offspring.
