The history of the castle domain of Brasschaat originated in the 18th century, when the Helhoeve, the predecessor of the castle of Brasschaat, was converted into a court of pleasure. When Armand Reusens became mayor of Brasschaat in 1872, he had a new beautiful castle built according to the French model and the Helhoeve was demolished. He acquired the domain from his father and his predecessor Honoré Guyot. Under Reusens, the domain expanded considerably. In 1896-1897, the castle was expanded with two side wings and obtained its current appearance. After his death, the domain came into the hands of his nephew Albert-Octave ’t Serclaes de Wommersom.

In 1906, the ownership rights were transferred to the NV Anvers-Extension, chairman of the NV, Eduard Thys, lived in the castle until 1914. In 1923, the NV sold the castle to Anne-Rose Gremmingen, widow of Georges Born. In 1949, the castle and domain of almost 170 ha were purchased by the Municipality of Brasschaat. The land along the Bredabaan was divided into plots to lighten the purchase burden. Since 1978, the domain has been partly managed by Bos en Groen. The castle was transformed into a hotel-restaurant. Today, the neoclassical castle of Brasschaat is a unique setting for family parties, corporate events or weddings.

Unique, another term would do this location short. A beautiful, historic castle combined with the view of 160 hectares of park and equipped and furnished according to contemporary expectations. Would you use a word other than unique? Brasschaat Castle encompasses all of this and is only 5 minutes from the Antwerp-Breda motorway.
