Bird Rescue Center Beernem

Highlight • Structure

Every year, the VOC takes in more than 4,400 wild animals in need of help with the aim of releasing them back into the wild. In addition to rehabilitating wild animals, they also want to offer added value in terms of education. For example, several hundred guided tours are given to both schools and interested groups every year. Every now and then, an open day is also organised, where you can also take a look behind the scenes as an individual visitor.

Bulskampveld Castle

Highlight • Castle

The current castle is the second to be built in the Bulskampveld. The Liège architect Clément Léonard drew the plans for this neo-Gothic country estate. From 1887 to 1892, approximately 80 men worked day in, day out on the new castle and the outbuildings. Count H. de Meeus financed the prestigious project as the client.
The new castle shows little castle allure. It is a large country house in a sober, neo-Gothic style.
At the same time as the construction of the castle, a new coach house was built, as well as horse and cow stables. On the side of the vegetable garden, now a herb garden, we notice that parts of older buildings were used: among other things, a piece of fieldstone wall was preserved. A water tower was constructed on the corner of the coach house. On top of this tower stood a mill that pumped the water from the artesian well. A clock-like instrument on the tower indicated the height of the water supply.
