Borluut Castle is a castle in the Belgian village of Sint-Denijs-Westrem, a part of Ghent. The castle is located in Kleine Gentstraat, near the village center. Since 1997, the castle, together with the park and outbuildings and the castle drive, is a protected monument.

The castle was renovated several times over the centuries and only got its final appearance at the beginning of the 20th century. The park was laid out in the 19th century and was inspired by English landscape gardens. The city of Ghent opened the castle to the public and gave it a cultural function. Cultural associations can rent the ground floor.

Tucked away in Sint-Denijs-Westrem, near the Parkbos, lies the charming Borluut Castle. This neoclassical castle, surrounded by a stately park and a lime tree avenue, exudes history and tranquility. Once a summer residence for the noble Borluut d'Hoogstraete family, it is now a protected monument with a cultural function. The surrounding area invites a short detour: stroll along the old avenues, admire the architecture, and enjoy the tranquility that reigns here, despite its proximity to the city of Ghent. The castle is regularly used for artistic and social activities, but even without events, it offers a charming place to pause for a moment.
