The Castle d'Ursel in Hingene came into the hands of Conrad Schetz in 1608 and was expanded into a summer residence. In the 18th century, Duke Charles of Ursel had the castle renovated into its current neoclassical form. It served as a country residence for the Duke of Ursel and his family for more than 350 years. After periods of vacancy, the castle was purchased and restored by the province of Antwerp in 1994. It has a park and is accessible to the public, including a youth accommodation and the Notelaer hunting pavilion on the Scheldt.

From the moment you set foot on the domain of this castle, you will feel like a real duke or princess. The historical buildings welcome many tourists.

Staff members provide enthusiastic explanations about the region. Be sure to get to know the surrounding park forest where you can walk through, or admire the ochre-yellow castle d’Ursel.

The grandeur always puts you in a perfect mood to discover Klein Brabant.

Worth a visit, usually quiet and the chance to cycle or walk around the castle. Personally I think it is really the maximum on foot, people see a lot more, especially through the eyes of an amateur photographer.
