Nice little moated castle.

Oudeberg Castle is situated on a beautiful four-hectare estate, perched atop the Oudeberg hill, just behind the Holy Chapel and bordering the iconic Wall of Geraardsbergen. Over the years, the estate has undergone remarkable evolution. Its current, almost fairytale-like appearance is the result of this long history. The castle's origins likely date back to a modest farmstead with accompanying stables, once owned by linen merchant and later banker Jean-François Spitaels. The characterful appearance of the castle as we know it today is largely the work of Felix Spitaels, who carried out extensive expansions between 1890 and 1895. In 1903-1904, thanks to notary Désiré De Clercq, the building took on an even more authentic castle-like appearance. Later, the estate came into the hands of the Blicken and Putseys families. Since 2003, it has been owned by Mr. Alain Corneille, who meticulously restored the property to its original grandeur.

Today, this location can host weddings, communions, seminars, or business events. Its unique location and the splendor it exudes make this exceptional venue highly recommended for organizing events and parties. (Passed by castles and palaces)

Located in the province of Hainaut, the Château de Thoricourt is an elegant example of 18th-century neoclassical architecture, built by Count Henri-Gabriel de la Barre d'Erquelinnes. This imposing castle with its symmetrical facade and rustic yet refined appearance is set amidst extensive gardens, charming ponds and avenues lined with old trees. The interior, normally closed to the public, is renowned for its beautiful rococo details and original decorations, which reflect the grandeur of the past. For lovers of heritage and nature, the castle and the surrounding park offer a special place to go back in time and enjoy serene beauty.

The estate dates back to 1860 and is situated on top of the Oudeberg, next to the famous Wall of Geraardsbergen. The Orangerie Les Roses is one of three locations on the estate, together with the castle and a 4-hectare park. It can accommodate up to 175 people and has three rooms. The origins of the Oudenberg castle can probably be traced back to a small farm with adjoining stables and owned by linen merchant, and later banker, Jean-François Spitaels.

The Château de l'Estriverie is an imposing historic residence dating back to the 13th century. Initially a fortified house surrounded by a moat, the current castle was rebuilt in 1630 by the Cottrel family. It is built of brick, limestone and sandstone, with slate roofs and a main courtyard accessible by a stone bridge. Classified as a historic monument in 1976, the site retains its turrets and outbuildings, as well as a chapel dedicated to Saint-Joseph. Today, the castle is still inhabited by the family of Yve de Bavay.

This fortified house was built on the very site of the 13th century feudal castle. It took its final form in the 17th century.
