Kasteel Ter Weiden
Laarne, Belgium, Belgium
Laarne Castle in Laarne, Belgium, dates back to the 11th or 12th century and was originally built to defend the approaches to Ghent from the sea.
The first documented mention of the castle comes from 1294, describing a residence surrounded by a moat with round towers and a strong square keep. Over the centuries, it evolved from a medieval fortress into a stately summer residence with renovations in the 17th century that shaped much of its current appearance.
The castle saw significant events, including sieges during regional uprisings and renovations after damages sustained during conflicts. Later owners expanded the estate into a barony, added pavilions, and enhanced the surrounding parkland with long alleys and English-style gardens. Today, the castle is a museum and protected monument, showcasing 17th-century furniture, tapestries, and paintings, preserving a rich legacy of Flemish medieval and early modern history.
