The Castle used to be the hunting lodge of the Dukes of Brabant and now serves as a court. In the pond around the Castle you will see the statue of The Naiad, the goddess of all springs and rivers. The Naiad settled on the moat in 1991. Rik Poot designed the statue that makes us believe what the water nymphs from Greek mythology would have looked like. In Greek mythology you had Dryads and Naiads. The Dryads protected the forests and the Naiads the waters.

The Castle of the Dukes of Brabant is located in the center of Turnhout. The castle dates back to the 12th century and has been rebuilt several times. In the time of Mary of Hungary, governor of the Netherlands, it was a court of pleasure. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle fell into disrepair. The province bought the building from the municipality around the beginning of the 20th century and after the First World War under the supervision of provincial architect Jules Taeymans proceeded to a thorough restoration. Today the court is housed there.
