Description

Van der Vorst Castle is a castle in Loonbeek in the municipality of Huldenberg in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant. The castle is located east of the village on the other side of the river IJse on the edge of the Margijsbos.

In the 14th century the lordship of Loonbeek belonged to the van Wilren family and in the 15th century to the lords of Huldenberg. In 1500 the property was sold by Wouter van Huldenberg to Chancellor Jan van der Vorst. During the Wars of Religion, the castle with outbuildings would have been almost completely destroyed by fire.
