Rivieren Castle is located between the Vorsdonkbos and Turfputten nature reserve and the Demer. You walk past the domain and the main entrance when you go to the Demer. Here and there you can also catch a glimpse of the castle, but the domain is especially beautiful with a stretch of lane and fascinating trees. There is also a canal connected to a watercourse.
