A nice spot to jump off and relax in the park 👍
Since 2005, this castle is properly renovated and being used again! You can rent it to organise your event.
The castle itself had quite the history. People have been confirmed living there since 1771~1778. At the start of the 19th century, the castle was bought by the Lousbergs family, and it served as a country house to spend summers in. It was since then called ‘Chateau de Maaltebrugghe’.
The classicist part of the castle, which has its front to the park, and its back to the Kortrijksesteenweg, was problably built in 1754. It’s built in stucco and has nine bays, three of which protrude in the middle.

It’s not known who owned the castle before the 19th century. But since then, it’s been in the Lousberghs family’s hands, up until 1955 when it was sold to the city of Ghent, together with the park!
It was then used as a retirement home, and gradually languished over the years…
In 1999 it was purchased by Frank De Palmenaer, who renovated the castle into what you see today!
