Kasteel Coninxdonck – 千年以上の歴史が新たな装いに Kasteel Coninxdonckのエレガントなファサードの背後には、1313年以前に遡る歴史が隠されています。かつてこの場所には中世の城があり、その基礎は現在の城の下に今も隠されています。 古い城は激動の歴史をたどり、1793年のフランス革命中に略奪され、火を放たれました。19世紀初頭、この地は新たな命を吹き込まれ、白い壁のファサードと特徴的なコーナータワーを備えた、エレガントな帝政様式で現在の城が建てられました。 周囲の広大な敷地もまた、発見する価値があります。壮大な菩提樹の並木道、城の農場、池、特別な古い木々がある6.6ヘクタールの歴史的な庭園です。 今日、Coninxdonckは再び活気ある目的地となっています。かつての貴族の別荘地は、結婚式、パーティー、イベントのためのスタイリッシュな場所として利用されています。このように、この何世紀にもわたる遺産は、歴史的な魅力を美しく保ちながら、現代的な解釈が加えられました。

1507年から1826年まで、城は男爵ド・ティセバート・デ・ゲントブルッゲ家の所有でした。コニンクドンクの領主は、ロード侯爵に封建的に服従していました。1767年からは、アレクシス・グレント・デ・カイユベール卿に賃貸されていました。
