Castle estate Borluut

So-called "Castle Borluut". Partially moated castle with a beautiful park, connected by a wide linden avenue to the Kortrijksesteenweg. The current neoclassical castle was built circa 1858 on commission from Count Borluut d'Hoogstraate according to a design by a well-known landscape architect Van Damme-Sellier on the site of the decayed so-called "White Castle," first mentioned in 1411 and the seat of the Borluut family's lordship. The estate also included a courtyard, located opposite the castle, to the left of the avenue, with origins dating back to the 17th century currently converted into a country house (number 69) and a large farm known as "the Borluutse" in Lauwstraat (number 57) dated 1766 but with an older core, now also renovated.
