Water castle of Feluy, dating from the 14th century. The foundations of this castle date back to 1380. In the 18th century it was transformed into a luxurious residence, and the moats were widened into a pond. Around 1940 further improvements were made.

The old castle, surrounded by its pond and moats, is the work of Eustache de Bousie. A remarkable round tower portal, formerly passed by a drawbridge and dating from the XIIIth century, was built at the entrance to the castle; on his left is a 15th century fortified fortress. The original building, whose facade remains from the former fence, was destroyed in the 18th century by order of the Countess of Blois, Canon of Nivelles and replaced by the classical house that still exists today.
The seriousness of the whole is balanced by a loggia overlooking a goose pond and a beautiful pier. The chateau was restored and renovated in 1940, and more recently by the current owners.

Worth the detour. Castle cannot be visited. Reception and seminar room.

The castle of Feluy was built in 1380 by order of Eustache II de Bousies. Until 1576, the domain would remain in the possession of the de Bousies family, when it passed into the hands of the Rubemprés, then it belonged to the Renesse family until 1659. After that, the domain remained in the hands of the de Berghe family for a century. The castle was neglected and in 1774 it was bought by Countess d’Ysendoorn de Blois. Around 1777, the castle was transformed into a luxurious residence and the moats were widened into a pond. Around 1940, architect Puttemans had the castle modified once more. After the Second World War, the castle of Feluy fell into disrepair.
In 1972, the restoration of the castle began under the direction of architect Gochet. Since then, the castle of Feluy has regained the splendor of earlier centuries.
