    The round building is a service building at the castle of Westmalle. The round shape of the building is unique and rare, as there is no other comparable building in our country.

    The building was built around 1841 and served as a model farm with a carriage house, a cow and horse stable and storage spaces. As the name suggests,
    it is a round building with a diameter of 22 meters. The outer facade is divided into 20 bays. In the center there is a large hall that runs through all floors.

There are no written sources about the renovations, but we assume that the round building was also adapted with the new owner of the castle. The joinery in the facades is art deco inspired and forms the basis for the current appearance of the facade. The gates currently have a blue and white colour scheme, which corresponds to the coat of arms of the van der Straten Waillet family.
