Kerkom Castle (also: Alstergoed) is a castle at Kerkstraat 6 in Kerkom-bij-Sint-Truiden.

This castle was the seat of the Lords of Kerkom. The name Alstergoed therefore originates from the Van Alsteren family, who were Lord of Kerkom from the end of the 14th century to 1675. The Van Schoor family, owners from 1707-1774, had a classicist castle built. In 1889, a new castle in eclectic style was built by the then owner, Baron F. de Moffart, just northwest of that castle. The classicist castle was largely demolished. Only the northeast wing and the eastern corner towers have been preserved. Here were the quarters for the servants and the carriage house.

Both buildings are located in a park. There is a terraced garden and in it, at each of the two corners, an octagonal garden pavilion from 1760.
