Good cobblestone section towards the dike or from the dike

Highlight • Cycleway

This section is easy to do with a racing bike, at the end towards Hingene the section gets a bit worse but is still easy to do as long as you keep a good pace and speed.

Around the castle lies a domain that, together with the Hingenebroekpolder and Schellandpolder, once measured around 300 hectares. The park around the castle is around 40 hectares and is connected to the polders that are part of the Bornem silence area via the Notelaerdreef. In the park you will find yourself in an oasis of peace. The domain is open to the public and is eagerly visited by walkers and joggers.

d'Ursel Castle

Highlight • Castle

Anyone who looks at that castle today has the impression that it was designed and built in one go. In reality, this is the result of four centuries of building, renovation and adaptation. Over more than two hundred years, the relatively modest stone house from 1535 underwent a transformation into an elegant 18th-century palace.
We owe the view to the French-Italian architect Giovanni Niccolò Servandoni. He also made his mark as a set builder in the theater and this can be seen in the adjustments he had carried out to the castle between 1761 and 1765. He had the entire building plastered and painted yellow. The white shutters provide balance and symmetry, even though some shutters have no windows at all. He increased the facade with a screen facade (including six pairs of false shutters) and the towers were given a classical balustrade.
