Tips

Castle in neo-Gothic/neo-Bruges style designed by architect Charles De Wulf (Bruges), built in 1893 and close to the medieval type of complex house.
Immovable Heritage Inventory: Castle de la Faille, id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/82071

This 'castle', today a catering business, has been part of the experience of visitors to the Minnewaterpark for many years. Next to it there are several beautiful viewing and rest areas and it fits into the picture of the city and park.

Attention: not to be confused with 't Goed Uplosere, mentioned elsewhere here, which is located in the East Flemish municipality of Kruisem...

Beautiful castle next to the park. Here you can sit comfortably on the terrace.

From 1654, the castle park on Kasteelstraat in Lozer was owned by the della Faille d'Huysse family. In the 17th century, the beautiful castle was called "t Goed Uplosere". The block-shaped castle received its current classicist appearance during renovations in the 18th century.
From Kasteelstraat you can see the symmetrical rear facade. From Appelhoekstraat you have a view of the facade. The 19th century park in English landscape style consists of ponds, winding paths, bridges and accessories such as a walled vegetable garden, a caretaker's house, a dog kennel, a coach house, a tower-shaped garden pavilion, a courtyard and a gatehouse. From the castle grounds, a double avenue leads to the Church of Our Lady of Assistance.

The castle is beautifully situated in the countryside. From the other side of the water it offers a magnificent view.

A small restaurant, in a great location, run by very nice people. It's self-service, but that doesn't detract from the whole thing!

While tourists stream past on the other side of the lake on their way to the train station or parking lot, you can sit in the cozy and relaxed Kasteel and enjoy the view of the lake. The warm apple pie with ice cream and whipped cream is highly recommended!

A romantic hotspot par excellence! People once believed that water nymphs ("minnen" in Dutch) lived here, hence the lake's name. Add to that a tragic love story, mysterious trees, and abundant greenery, and you have a place full of romance.
