Regarded as one of the most beautiful castles in the world. It is located in the
picturesque village of Gestel, in a 72 hectare landscape park that connects to forests, fields and meadows. It seems like an environment where time has stood still. Or where time in any case no longer plays a significant role, because of the silence and tranquility. Yet it is also a place where a special dynamic was present for many centuries. The castle has known many illustrious residents, such as the second son of Pieter Paul Rubens and other powerful noble families. They all contributed in their own way to the unique aura that still surrounds the ocher-colored castle complex.
LIVING AND WORKING IN PERFECT HARMONY
Although the romanticism of the Middle Ages can still be felt everywhere, this castle has adapted wonderfully to the present day. The domain offers a total experience in which living, working and leisure are in perfect harmony. You will find a living environment that is rooted in the twenty-first century, including exhibition and office spaces, and leisure facilities such as a fitness, swimming pool and tennis courts.
MODERN ODE TO HISTORY AND HERITAGE VALUE
The castle has evolved from a fourteenth-century keep into a sixteenth-century Renaissance castle. The different periods can still be felt today in the architecture and the interior. Between 1996 and 2001, the castle and outbuildings were completely
restored by architect Rutger Steenmeijer and interior designer Axel Vervoordt. It was important to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the site as much as possible. Of course, the restoration period until 2001 is not the end point of the revaluation of the castle. The fact that the castle is still in good health has to do with the periodic and progressive maintenance work being carried out. In this way, the aim is not only to permanently strengthen the monumental character, but also to meet the needs of today and tomorrow in a sustainable way.
The historical value of the castle lies in the diversity of styles that are beautifully reflected today in both the castle and the outbuildings.
It is special that such a property is back on the market today. A chivalrous family story that spans seven centuries, but today also needs a new chapter.
