Fort Kessel is a concrete armored fort built shortly before the First World War. Along with 29 other fortifications, it forms the outer fortification belt of the Antwerp fortress. The fort was built between 1909 and 1914 and modified during the interwar period (1934 and 1939). Until 1940, it played a role in the Belgian army's military defense strategy, first as an artillery stronghold and later as an infantry support point. The fort was demilitarized in 1947. Today, it is an important wintering site for bats. (Inventory of Immovable Heritage) And there is much more to do in and around the fort. Information can be found at https://fortvankessel.be

Kasteeldomein Zellaer is a beautiful historic castle located in Bonheiden, a municipality in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The castle and the surrounding domain are popular attractions due to their rich history, architecture and the natural beauty of the surroundings. History The current castle of Zellaer largely dates from the 19th century, but the origins of the domain go back much further. It is believed that a fortified castle already existed in the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, the domain was owned by the Van Duffel family. Later, it came into the possession of the noble Berthout family. In the 18th century, the old castle was destroyed, after which it was completely rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style in the 19th century by the famous architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. Cluysenaar was responsible for the design of several iconic buildings in Belgium, such as the Royal Galleries of Saint-Hubert in Brussels. The castle as we know it today, with its towers, battlements and romantic appearance, dates from this period. Architecture The castle of Zellaer is a beautiful example of the neo-Gothic architectural style, which was very popular in the 19th century. The building has a fairytale appearance with towers, battlements, a moat and a drawbridge. The neo-Gothic style is known for the revival of medieval architectural elements, such as pointed arches and decorative details. The interior of the castle also contains Gothic and neo-Gothic elements. Some rooms are beautifully decorated with woodwork, stained glass windows and old furniture, which provide a glimpse into the rich past of the residents. The Domain The castle domain includes an extensive park with forests, ponds and walking paths. The park is freely accessible and is often used by hikers and nature lovers. It is a green oasis in the region and offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy the nature and landscape around the castle. Current Use Zellaer Castle is owned by the municipality of Bonheiden and is managed by Kempens Landschap, an organisation that is committed to the preservation of heritage and nature. The castle is used for various events, such as weddings, photo shoots, exhibitions and cultural activities. There are also regular guided tours that give visitors the opportunity to learn more about the history and architecture of the building. Visits Visitors can enter the park freely, but access to the castle itself is often limited to special occasions or guided tours. During these tours, you will get a glimpse into the various rooms and will be told about the rich history of the domain and its former residents. Summary Zellaer Castle is an impressive piece of heritage in Flanders, with a rich history and beautiful architecture. It offers both cultural and recreational value to the region and is worth a visit for anyone interested in history, architecture or just wants to take a nice walk in a historic environment.
