Today the Brothers of Christian schools live there and the castle is also used as a primary school.

History: Kruikenburg used to be a manor and later a county in Brabant. The manor consisted of the current municipality of Ternat together with the sub-municipalities of Wambeek and Lombeek. At the beginning of the 12th century, the lords of Wezemaal, whether or not on behalf of the duke in Leuven, tried to seize the forests and lands of Wambeek.
Architecture: Kruikenburg is an imposing classicist castle that originally dates from the 12th century. The castle, like many other medieval defensive castles, has a U-shape. This U is formed by three wings surrounding a courtyard. There are round towers on the corners. Only the entrance tower is square.
Name: The peculiar name 'Kruikenburg' is because there used to be a rough stone-cut jar with a weather bar on the top of the square entrance tower and the three round towers.

Beautiful castle surrounded by a park with a playground and picnic tables. A nice place to stop and have a snack in Ternat.
