The Gravenhof castle was built by the Baron Le Roy in 1649 and is located in the flemish part of Belgium, very close to Brussels. Formerly the castle was surrounded on all sides by water and access was via a drawbridge. In the 19th century the four corner towers were added to the castle. Today the castle is a hotel and restaurant, quite famous for wedding receptions, anniversaries or birthday parties.
It is located in a beautiful parc

It is all just gorgeous! NOT a castle like you THINK of a castle though... with turrets and all... More like a giant of a mansion! What gorgeous grounds though! I do wish you had photographed the inside too... or did you not go in? I would have stopped to eat while I was there!
Beautiful photos. I like the last one of the statue in particular.
What a beautiful place, I should visit it one day!
Oh my! its really beautiful! I want to be engaged there. Well, its just a wishful thinking. Thank you for sharing, dear Gattina.
Great photos, Gattina. the park is fantastic. Love to see pictures from other parts of the world. thanks also for the information on this great castle. See you around!
That is a beautiful castle, Gattina. Europe has so many lovely old historic buildings and churches and I love history. One day I'll get there to have a look at a few.
As usual, your photos are fantastic as well as your subject. Thanks. What a nice walk to be able to take! I just think I will walk to the nearest castle today. Oh, no, I can't do that. I don't even know of one. :D
What a special architecture, one could almost believe that all the parts of castle were built at the same time like that. Love the surroundings with the river. Very romantic, I'm sure!
your pictures are beautiful - i thought, what a good day to go for a walk, the sun was shining very well. until you mentioned it was too cold.
Hi Gattina! Beautiful castle, wonderful pictures. Also loved to see that blue sky...
