Rixensart Castle

Rixensart, Belgium, Belgium

Rixensart Castle, or Château de Rixensart, is a striking Baroque château in Rixensart, Walloon Brabant, Belgium, constructed in phases from 1631 to 1730 with red brick walls, blue stone accents, a central courtyard, and four octagonal corner towers that showcase Brabantine Renaissance influences.

Originally built partly by Jean Charles de Gavre and refined by Philippe-Charles Hippolyte Spinola, it passed to the Merode family in 1715, who still own it today, filling its interiors with Louis XV and XVI furniture, Flemish tapestries, and a collection of Arabian weapons from Napoleon's era.

Visitors can tour the castle and its French gardens from April to October on weekends and holidays, enjoying its elegant park amid a quiet suburban setting near attractions like Walibi Belgium without overwhelming crowds.
