Altenbroek

Voeren, Belgium, Belgium

---

Altenbroek is a historic estate and natural landscape in the Belgian municipality of Voeren, in eastern Limburg, centred on Kasteel Altenbroek (also called Kasteel Altembrouck) and its surrounding park, farms and wooded hills in the valley of the Noor stream between the villages of ’s-Gravenvoeren and Sint-Martens-Voeren.

The oldest part of the castle building is an 18th-century rectangular west wing, with a north wing added in brick around 1775, and over time the whole complex was heavily modified and partially rebuilt, so that what visitors see today is more a country house and estate than a medieval fortress, though the site and its name recall much older origins.

The castle stands within the protected natural area of Landgoed Altenbroek, which includes a large park with ponds, several streams and springs such as the Sint-Lambertusbron, and formal avenues and Curved paths that link the building to the wider Vos valley landscape.
