    The castle is hidden in the foliage behind the Rupeldijk. In the past, this building was a luxurious hunting pavilion. The tower that you can see from the Rupeldijk was built in neoclassical style (1850-1860)
    Unfortunately, the castle is privately owned.

    Perhaps you've already spotted a small tower from afar, proudly rising above the greenery and the Rupeldijk. The tower belongs to Den Bocht Castle, situated in a bend in the Rupel River.

    However, this small castle wasn't the first structure on this site. A 16th-century map already shows two moated farms: De Bocht Farm and the old stone fortress Steendere, which some even believe dates back to Roman times. Remnants of this can be recognized as a large body of water just behind the Rupeldijk.
