Beverbeek Castle

Beverbeek Castle is a castle located northwest of Hamont in the Belgian province of Limburg. The castle is located at Beverbeek 19.

The area was part of the property of the seigneury of Grevenbroek, and was sold on 16 April 1722. The part that was located in Achel is the current Beverbeekhoeve. The part in Hamont, with the so-called New Farm on it, was sold separately. In 1875, however, it was purchased by Mathias Joannes Petrus Slegers, who had also bought the domain of the Beverbeekhoeve the year before. This farm was demolished in 1878, but in its immediate vicinity the current Tudor-style castle was built in 1889, designed by the architect Mathieu Christiaens for Joseph Slegers. He was a doctor of law and a lawyer in Tongeren. He was married to Joséphine Schaetzen, the daughter of Willem Schaetzen and Hortense Verpoorten. This castle is a striking, tall structure with a bay window and flanked by a landing.
