Le château en bref
The Lassonhof is a moated country house located on the Hoogeind in Stabroek, in the province of Antwerp. Formerly known as the "Huis van Stabroeck" and then "Het Hof", the residence took the name Lassonhof in 1735, in reference to Franciscus Ignatius Lasson. The Flemish heritage inventory records a first building, presumably dating from the mid-14th century, linked to Corstiaen van Horwinen; the property then passed through the hands of several families and notables, including the knight Paulus van Dale in the mid-16th century, and then Jan de Ram in the early 17th century. The current core dates from the 17th century: the east wing, single-storeyed, retains original wooden ceilings and a beam dated 1611. The estate was rebuilt in the mid-19th century by the Cocquiel family, then renovated in 1950 by Edouard van de Poel, owner since 1943. It is laid out within a nearly rectangular moat enclosure, with a pond to the south-east, a landscaped garden to the north, and a 17th-century double gatehouse bridge that controls access. A gatekeeper's lodge with pointed-arch windows and a former 19th-century carriage house complete the ensemble.
