Huldenberg Castle is nestled between wooded hills and rolling meadows in the picturesque Dijle Valley. Although it is privately owned and not open to visitors, the stately building with its towers and surrounding park forms a beautiful backdrop along your route. Enjoy the peaceful view and the charming atmosphere of the historic landscape here.

The castle has undergone several transformations over time. It is not known whether there was already a castle before 1490. Shortly after 1490, Jan van Houthem built a fortified castle with an inner courtyard surrounded by moats. At the end of the 17th century, it was converted into a typical French castle with a French garden, straight lanes and square ponds. In 1705, it was shelled during the reconquest of the southern Netherlands from the French and was largely demolished in the course of the 18th century. Around 1811, a villa in "empire" style was built on the foundations. This villa burned down in 1848 and was rebuilt in the same style. The villa was not ideal to live in due to the damp IJsevalei and was extensively converted in 1926-1927 into the Flemish-style castle as we know it today.

Charles-Lambert knight de Maurissens acquired the castle of Pellenberg at the beginning of the 19th century. The De Maurissens family is a noble family, whose roots lie in Switzerland. The oldest male member has held the title of knight since 1822. The current eclectic castle was built in 1916. In 1949, the castle and its park were sold to the Catholic University of Leuven.

The lords of Heverlee built their first castle here in the 14th century. In the 16th century, the current castle was built in Renaissance style, and in the 19th century it received a major makeover in neo-Gothic style. In 1916, the Duke of Arenberg donated the domain to the university. This green area on the outskirts of Leuven now belongs to KU Leuven and is the campus for Science and Technology.
