Le château en bref
Broechemhof is a castle in Broechem, a district of the municipality of Ranst (province of Antwerp), located at number 10 Broechemhof street. According to the Flemish protection decree of 1997, its origins go back to the 16th century, while the old core of the building dates from the 17th century; it was remodelled around 1790, then again in 1927–1930. Despite these alterations and the removal of the render, the residence retains a balanced appearance, in harmony with its rural surroundings. The interior, with its sometimes unexpected vistas, further strengthens the link between the castle and its small estate, set in an open agricultural landscape whose preservation is deemed essential. Together with the neighbouring castle of Bossenstein, the Broechemhof is considered one of the major buildings in the region. The castle is protected as a monument, and the estate with its surroundings as a village site, by decree of 3 February 1997.
