The Gaasbeek castle was built in the 13th century to protect Brussels. Over the centuries, the castle was repeatedly devastated and rebuilt. After that the castle was occupied by a succession of noble families. The Count of Egmond, was one of the chateau’s best-known owners. In the late 18th century, the castle became the property of the Italian aristocratic Arconati Visconti family and the Castle became a meeting place for students and artists and is open to the public.
This of course is a photo of the castle I "stole" from Internet.
Unfortunately the castle was closed when I visited it, but the park and the castle itself is beautiful.
