Heidebloem Castle

So-called "Heidebloem Castle". Light U-shaped castle from around 1800, rebuilt 1939-1942 (ridge parallel to the street) with surrounding park in which bluestone vases on pedestals from the second half of the 18th century, from the domain of the Abbey of Nazareth.

After the sale of the goods of the Abbey of Nazareth, the plastered late classicist castle was probably erected around 1800, with a hipped roof and corner risalites under leaning hipped roofs, and a raised central bay under a three-sided pediment. The almost square-enclosed domain had an access lane connected to it leading to the domain of the former abbey of Nazareth, where a late classical castle was erected at about the same time. Dilapidated castle in 1939-1942 to a design by F. Flerackers rebuilt in its current state with widening of the main building, furnishing of the service buildings as a residence, plastering and application of gables at corner risalites.
