Castle of Bommershoven

Manor house with farm, located next to the church, and built in 1759-61 by Marcel-Gérard Magnée. The original complex consisted of three separate wings, see Ferraris map (1771-77); in the first half of the 19th century, one of the service buildings disappeared, leaving an L-shaped building, the manor house, and a long service building along the street, see Atlas of the Neighborhood Roads (1844). The park was significantly smaller during that period: at the corner of Alfonsstraat and Moerenstraat was a very spacious, enclosed farm. In the course of the second half of the 19th century, the existing service building was modified, and the current U-shaped yard on the south side of the castle was built. The park reaches its current size due to the disappearance of the aforementioned farm. Park layout partially in formal style, partially in landscape style, dating from the second half of the 19th century.
