Castle of s'Gravenwezel

The large castle in my native village dates back to the 13th century. It was built in Gothic style. Two imposing corner towers were built in the 14th century. Only 1 is still standing. The gatehouse was added in the Baroque period (16th - 17th century). Later the castle became a moated castle. Now it is the residence of antique dealer Axel Vervoordt. If you ever get a chance to get past the entrance gate... DO IT. I have been lucky enough to discover this gem several times in my youth. The large crowd can now simply stroll along the shady hofgracht.

The castle of 's-Gravenwezel has a double wall and dates from the 13th century. It was the residence of the Counts de Woutere. This gave the original municipality name Wesel or Wesele, the addition 's Graven. In the 14th century, two imposing round corner towers were added, one of which has been preserved.
