Bellevue Castle is a country house in Gors-Opleeuw, on the edge of the Bellevue forest, located at Bellevuestraat 70. The castle is located on a higher point with a panoramic view of the fields towards Guigoven.

Bellevue Castle was probably built as a hunting lodge in 1764 by Baron Isidore de Copis, younger brother of Dieudonné de Copis, lord of Gorsleeuw, resident of Gors Castle. After a long vacancy and decay, it was renovated and re-inhabited in 1884 and it was preserved in its 19th century condition.

It is a grand mansion under a tent roof. The white-painted building is built of brick, with marlstone corner bands. The interior layout remained unchanged, although only a fireplace with Rococo stucco remains. The house is located in a walled garden. At the back is a stone with the year 1764 bricked in.

Close to the castle, a Roman burial field with twelve second-century urns was excavated in the 1960s.

The Bellevue Castle with garden and walls has been protected as a monument since 1 March 2004.
