En un regard
Le château en bref
Kasteel Fruithof is a neo-Rococo château in Boechout, completed in 1927–1928 for Philippe Moretus de Bouchout, who had purchased the estate in 1920. The site, on the edge of Hove, was occupied from the early 17th century by a farm (‘’t Cleyn Frythout’) and, at the end of the 18th century, by a pleasure house. The present château, built of brick under a slate mansard roof, is approached by a paved avenue of plane trees and accompanied by a coach house from the first quarter of the 19th century and the remains of a park around a large pond. The estate is protected as a site (Kasteeldomein Fruithof, 1993) and as established architectural heritage.
