コルテマルク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

1863年、コンinck・デ・メルケム男爵はブランカルトの邸宅を取得しました。そこに城が建てられ、イギリス式の城公園が整備されました。 コンinck・デ・メルケム男爵は1895年に亡くなり、妻が城を含む全財産を相続しました。 城は第一次世界大戦中にひどく損傷し、ファサードしか残っていませんでした。1922年に、より小さな規模で再建されました。城公園は元の状態には戻されませんでした。 第二次世界大戦中、城の屋根は破壊されました。2つの円形塔の円錐形の胸壁は復元されませんでした。夫の死後、所有者は城を再建し、1959年に息子のイニシアチブである「Volkshogeschool de Blankaart」に提供しました。 この邸宅は1978年に自然保護区に指定されました。

城とその周辺は現在修復中です。すでに素晴らしいですが、将来的にはさらに素晴らしくなるでしょう。とても素敵な小さなレストランと無料のトイレもあります。

Nowadays the castle is a luxury hotel/restaurant and conference centre (Restaurant realised in 1990 and hotel built in 1996 by the then organisers of the Rock Torhout festival). On the other side of the Torhout - Oostende road lies the domain of the Wijnendale castle.

The history of 'Domein d' Aertrycke' begins in 1865 when August de Maere, the spiritual father of the port of Zeebrugge, acquired 98 ha of the 'Verloren Kost' domain. In 1869 he had the now centrally located neo-Gothic castle built to a design by the Antwerp architect Joseph Schadde. In 1897 August de Maere, who had in the meantime been elevated to the nobility, was given permission to add d'Aertrycke to his name. With the exception of a short period after the First World War, the domain remained the property of the family. Xavier de Maere, the last owner of the castle, became known as second-in-command of the Belgian South Pole Expedition 1958-1959. After the death of his mother, who was the last of the family to live in the castle, he concluded an agreement with the West Flemish provincial government for the partial opening of the castle domain to the general public. In 2012, the province acquired full ownership and Domein d'Aertrycke became a fully-fledged provincial domain.

The castle De Maere d'Aertrycke is a castle in the Belgian city of Torhout. The neo-Gothic castle was built from 1868 to 1871 by order of August de Maere, the castle is still popularly called De Maeres castle. It is located between the center of Torhout, Wijnendale and Aartrijke. The castle is located in a romantic garden with a large pond, meadows and forests. The domain has a great natural value. Roe deer, Western European hedgehog and the European red squirrel are the mammals that live there. Birds are richly represented with the tufted duck, great spotted woodpecker, moorhen, coot, grebe, jackdaw, nuthatch, tree creeper, finch, blue tit and great tit. There are also amphibians: the brown frog and the common toad.

There are a total of four lookout towers in the Blankaart. This one here is the highest: 10m. It overlooks the reed marshes and the wet hay fields. The inspiration for the design of the viewpoints comes from the reed marshes. Just as the bittern blends with its tall figure into the reeds, the towers blend into the open space of the Blankaart, while at the same time they are beacons in the landscape. The rising walls with sloping elements, openings and green plexiglass refer to the reed collars in which birds can hide and which still have a certain transparency.
