Le château en bref
Hof Ternessen is a former castle in Wommelgem, east of Antwerp. According to the Flemish inventory, it was supposedly built at the beginning of the 17th century by Pedro Vermoelen, then rebuilt in 1775 by its then owner, Jacobus de Cornelissen. The main residence was demolished in 1943, and only its foundations remain. Several outbuildings, however, have been preserved: former stables and barns of one storey, with hipped roofs and an 18th-century core; a northern brick building with a tiled roof, some of whose openings date from around 1900, preceded by a wooden canopy; and a disused entrance gate with rusticated stone piers. Renovated, these buildings now house the cafeteria and offices of the Ternesse Golf & Country Club (Uilenbaan 15), a 27-hole course laid out on this former castle estate.
