Lagendal Castle

The castle is called 'Lagendal' because it is located at the lowest point of the municipality of Lummen. The castle dates from 1850 and was built as a hunting pavilion for the wealthy Hasselt gin distiller Paul Jacobs-Stellingwerff. Until 2005, the neoclassical castle housed an exclusive restaurant. In this capacity, the castle was given the name Saint-Paul. The current residents of the castle are working on the renovation of the castle park, partly laid out in a formal garden style with a round pond and tightly sheared box hedges and partly in a landscape style with natural-looking round avenues, slopes and groups of trees. The castle is not open to the public.
