Impressive and large moated castle.
The local aristocratic residence has been owned by the Merode family since 1200.
An eventful history, most recently bombed during the war, laboriously rebuilt...
Then in 2000 there was a devastating fire - restored in 2009.

Impressive castle, unfortunately not open to the public, despite being an official cycle path.
Guarded by "service dogs"!
