Hiking

Tucked away in the rural village of Vechmaal, Heurne Castle exudes history, with roots stretching back to the 17th century and a beautiful castle farm dating from 1743. Once the setting for a Harry Kümel film and long inhabited by the noble Bosch family, the estate still bears traces of its rich past, such as the Bosquet grove and old gravestones.

The 18th century castle of Heurne consists of a castle farm and a castle with vegetable garden and park. The castle of Heurne was probably originally a fortified farm, which originally belonged to the counts of Loon.
