Le château en bref
Steynehof Castle is a neo-traditional castle dating from the third quarter of the 19th century, located at Steynehofweg 1 in Nijlen, in the province of Antwerp, in the middle of a wooded estate. It occupies land once farmed by the Stynenhoeven farms, whose holdings were reduced at the beginning of the 19th century, their least fertile soils having been planted with trees. The Flemish inventory, which recorded it in 1995–1997 without having been able to visit it, gives neither owners nor architect. The building consists of tiered volumes of brick and sandstone, one to two storeys over a cellar, under a complex slate roof. The side elevations and the central projecting bay have stepped gables; to the north, polygonal towers are topped with slate spires. Access is via an avenue of beech trees, then by a wide straight staircase situated between a corner tower and the central projecting bay. The castle has been listed in the Flemish inventory of architectural heritage (immovable heritage protected by vaststelling) since 2019.
