The Castle is a villa built in 1899 by industrialist Gonzales Cock, where you can still experience some of the grandeur of the past here and there: the beautiful mosaic in the entrance hall of the castle, the wooden floor - decorated with beautiful motifs - or the authentic cellar vaults, to name just a few elements.

Hiking

The Verloren Bos borders the area De Buylaers, but unlike the Buylaers this is a former drifting sand area. In 1899-1900 the Kasteel Verloren Bos was built here, and the Verloren Bos is actually the park of the castle. This park was designed in landscape style and included a number of ponds, a folly and an ice cellar.

Hiking

Both the castle and the coach house have been managed by the Centre for Youth Tourism (CJT) since 1981. Situated in a green area of 60 ha, this is an ideal place to stay for groups of young people.
