    Tips

    Doesn't this castle look like something out of a fairy tale? At least from the Middle Ages? I have to disappoint you, this Kasteel is fake. In a way, because when it came into being, between 1913 and 1929, historicism was in vogue - a style that pretended something was old and significant. Well, now it is. Baron Raphael Gilles de Pélichy built it, but his family only lived in the castle until 1946.

    From 1956 to 2020 the castle was the seat of Ryckevelde Europe House, a foundation set up by the Capuchin monk Karel Verley. The castle served as a training center intended to interest and educate young people about Europe as a political entity.

    At the moment you can rent Ryckevelde Castle as a location for parties. However, the park around the building is freely accessible.

        At the castle you can eat or drink something in restaurant-tearoom Ryckevelde. Open daily from 11am to 9pm.
