Beautiful castle and ditto park/forest. Forest is open to the public. Castle still served in film with K3. Occasionally hobby fairs are organized here.

Poeke Castle boasts nearly 1,000 years of history. This impressive, eclectic, rococo-style castle in Aalter has been home to various noble families throughout the centuries; its history itself dates back to the 12th century. Its pale pink facades still sparkle today. The surrounding wooded park, 56 hectares in size, makes the estate a beautiful place for a stroll.
