Streversdorp Castle (Graaf)
Highlight • Castle
The mansion is accessed through a yard bordered by two wings, one built of brick (18th century), the other of limestone rubble (1687). On the far right is a chapel, probably dating from the 15th century, but rebuilt in 1734 by Vincent de Belderbusch and his wife Marie-Claire de Westrem, whose coat of arms the castle bears.
The Horrick family (1431-1530), the Belderbusch family (1530 -1810), the Thiriart family (1810-1908) and the Charles Janne Dothée family (1908-1986) are other families that owned the castle.
The walls are 1.5 meters thick and the fortress is protected by a wide moat fed by two ponds. It is accessed from the south via a three-arched stone bridge leading (formerly the drawbridge) to the entrance gate, which is topped by an oval bull's eye dating from the 17th century.
In the centre, the former 13th-century keep contains a beautiful vaulted room with a beautiful fresco that has now disappeared. In the 16th century two towers were added to the south-west and north-west corners. The north side is lit only by gun ports and the rest by three latrines.
