츠바인드레흐트‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Beveren purchased the estate in 1982. It boasts the striking 18th-century neoclassical castle, but the farm, ice cellars, and orangery are also worth a visit. During the Middle Ages, the estate was called "Shaecx" after the oldest residents of the fiefdom, the Noethaeckx family. This is how the place got its name. It was Jean-Baptist Versmessen, chief alderman of the Land van Waas castellany, who laid out the estate in its current form in 1781. The English landscape garden appears in 19th-century illustrations. It remained in the Versmessen family until textile manufacturer Edmond Meert purchased the property. The castle was severely damaged during WWII, leaving only a ruin. Restoration took place between 2004 and 2007, and it is now hoped to restore the interior to its former grandeur.

Beautiful domain with a beautiful park. In the summer months on Saturdays and Sundays the terrace is open in the coach house.

Nice place to do a short stop and refuel

The Hof ter Saksen castle in Beveren is not only dazzlingly beautiful to look at, it is especially the park that is a real eye-catcher. The Hof ter Saksen castle park plays with the senses of the visitor. And the plants are so beautiful and sophisticated that each season gives its own colour, atmosphere and identity. You can stroll there for free from 10 am, in the summer until 8 pm and in the winter until 4.30 pm. Dogs on a leash are only welcome on the designated paths, not in the stream valley, the nature garden and the high-stem orchard. More information at https://www.waasland.be/hof-ter-saksen-0

On May 7, 1923, the Rivierenhof opened its gates to the general public. It is the oldest provincial domain in Belgium. Later all other provinces followed suit. History: In 1921 the last noble heirs decided to sell the domain. Thanks to the alert actions of provincial registrar Jozef Schobbens, the province purchased the domain as a green lung for the already heavily populated Deurne-Borgerhout region where many workers lived. It was hoped that the Rivierenhof would be able to offer them healthy air, relaxation and tranquility. The province expanded the park from 40 to 135 hectares. Ponds were dug, lands were raised, castles were renovated and picturesque shelters were built. Bridges, a rose garden and sports fields were constructed. All this to allow everyone to enjoy the fresh greenery as much as possible. 100 years later, the Rivierenhof is still the most beautiful park in the entire province, where visitors from near and far admire everything this special place has to offer.

Here you can use the toilets for free.

The estate Hof Ter Saksen is a public educational nature park with walking paths. You will find meadows, fields, a forest area, an arboretum and a castle park. The castle park has a castle, a farm and an orangery.
