Le château en bref
Soupart Castle, in Heusden (Destelbergen), is a neoclassical villa with the air of a castle, built in 1876 for F.J. Soupart, professor at Ghent University, to designs by the architect Adolphe Pauli. It is distinguished by a heavy square tower with a tall truncated spire, set at the corner of the façade, and by its entrance, marked by two red-painted brick pillars. The estate extends into a landscaped park with a pond, a service pavilion, a carriage house and a walled kitchen garden. Before 1876, the site housed a probable country house of the d'Hoop family; around 1872, the residence and barn were demolished, and the stables were kept and adapted for the new estate. The mansion, also known as Klaverken Castle, today bears the name of the De Vos family, the current owners. It is listed in the Flemish inventory of architectural heritage (2023) and forms part of the protected village site "Aelmeersstraat en omgeving".
