En un regard
Le château en bref
Bergwyk Castle (Bergstraat 16, Merelbeke) stands on a sandy knoll, in a park with a pond. It was built in 1899, a date carved in a sculpted stone on the right-hand side façade, to replace an older summer residence that belonged to the Tertzweil-Boucqué family in the nineteenth century. According to the archives, the architect was J. de Waele (Joseph De Waele); the building permit applications from 1900 are kept in the Merelbeke municipal archives. A building in the Flemish Renaissance Revival style, in brick and natural stone, it is now used as a youth hostel. It has been protected as a built heritage site under the name Kasteeldomein Bergwyk since 20 June 2023, following an initial designation in 2009.
