Kasteel ter Elst is a castle located in the municipality of Duffel. It is one of the oldest buildings in the province of Antwerp. A ruin is the only thing left of this castle.

The Nete is a river in Belgium in the Scheldt basin. Lier is located at the confluence of the Grote Nete and the Kleine Nete. As Felix Timmermans puts it: "where the three winding Nethen tie a silver knot". Downstream from Lier, the river is simply called Nete or also Benedennete. It flows together with the Dijle at Rumst and thus forms the Rupel, which eventually flows into the Zeeschelde. Tidal effects are noticeable on the Kleine Nete up to Grobbendonk. In the Benedennete, the section from Lier to Rumst (15 km), the Nete Canal starts, which connects the Rupel to the Albert Canal. The basin is part of the Regional Landscape Grote and Kleine Nete. The Nete is navigable up to 600 tons and from Duffel up to 1350 tons.

It is a neo-Gothic brick cross basilica with a three-sided closed choir that is oriented to the northwest. The heavy pre-built tower has three sections and a high four-sided spire with dormer windows.

The castle ruins Ter Elst in Duffel is located right next to the Nete and has a long history dating back to the distant Middle Ages. The castle was built in traditional brick and sandstone architecture with octagonal towers and an access bridge. Unfortunately, the castle was largely destroyed in 1914. Since the 1970s, the ruin and its surroundings have been protected and owned by the municipality of Duffel. For a long time, the site served as a backdrop for socio-cultural events. The picturesque ruin with a moat appeals to the imagination. However, the ruin is in a bad state and therefore urgently needs to be repaired and strengthened.
