Domein Vlaanderenland

En un regard

Le château en bref

Domein Vlaanderenland, on Broekstraat in Merendree (Deinze, East Flanders), is a former moated farm that became a country house in the nineteenth century. Also known as ‘kasteel van Heiste’, ‘Rood kasteeltje’ or ‘Vlaanderland’, it is a wooded estate approached by an avenue of oaks and two gates, one with whitewashed brick piers and the other with blue stone piers. The main house, single-storeyed over seven bays under a mansard roof covered in slate, is built of whitewashed brick and pierced by round-arched openings. Facing it stand a former carriage shed with an arcade of three bays and a small rural house in the same style. A neo-Gothic chapel of blue stone, dedicated to Notre-Dame, lines the street.
