Description

The castle of 's-Gravenwezel has a double wall and dates from the 13th century. It was the residence of the Counts de Woutere. As a result, the original municipality name Wesel or Wesele was given the addition 's Graven. In the 14th century, two imposing round corner towers were added, one of which has been preserved. Both the east and north façades are built in Gothic style. The gatehouse was added in the Baroque period. Shortly afterwards, the castle was thoroughly rebuilt from a "moated castle" to a modern residence-castle for the time, under the direction of architect Jan Pieter van Baurscheidt the Younger. The castle is located in the middle of a 21-hectare park.
