The water castle Walburg rises in the middle of this 7-hectare Romain de Vidtspark. Knight Willem Van Waelwyck had the castle built in 1550 in a Flemish Renaissance with a touch of Brabant Gothic here and there. the facade and wing on the side of the park date from the end of the 17th century.

This moated castle once served as a textile factory and brewery.

Located in a green oasis in the middle of the city, the 16th-century Walburg Castle beckons. It is one of the most idyllic places in the city, especially on a sunny day.

Willem van Waelwijck named his manor and his moated castle after his wife, Walburgis.

The castle also included a pigeon tower and a very extensive park. Over the centuries, the castle served as a herb garden, brewery and warehouse and provided housing for knights, chief aldermen and mayors. Every Tuesday evening in July and August, locals and tourists gather around Walburg Castle for the fun Walburg concerts, now officially renamed Parkies.
