Tips
Beersel Castle is a medieval water castle dating from 1300 under the auspices of the Duchy of Brabant. The current design of the castle dates from 1357. The castle was plundered twice and underwent significant restorations in 1491 and 1617. It is one of the few well-preserved examples of medieval military architecture in Belgium. The castle was built around 1420 and functioned as an advanced fortress to defend Brussels. The castle is also mentioned in the album 'The Treasure of Beersel' by Suske and Wiske.
