A DREAM WALK THROUGH THE CENTURIES
MAJESTIC CASTLE WITH A RICH HISTORY
The Baronie van Boelare is a residential care centre located in a castle domain on the banks of the Dender. The strategic location of the castle, originally built as a fortress, ensured that the Baronie van Boelare has always played an important role over the years. A brief overview.

The Baronie van Boelare was one of the five major baronies of the Land van Aalst, the region around the city of Aalst. A barony consisted mainly of estates over which the baron had power. However, the most important barons also had a castle. So did the rich and powerful family around the Baron van Boelare.
