Le château en bref
Buizingen Castle, located at Gemeenteplein in Halle, was the residence of the lords of the place. It is organised around a medieval tower that forms its core, remodelled in the 16th century and then largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century. Sold in 1501 by Iwein Buys to W. van Itter, it was acquired in 1538 by P. Boiscot, who rebuilt it. It then passed to L. de Taxis, then to the Counts of Thurn and Taxis, to the Overschie family (1687), to Th. Leduc (1750) and to the Manlingrau family. The present building forms a two-storey L-shaped wing under a hipped slate roof, with a square corner tower capped by a pavilion roof and fitted with a sundial bearing a chronogram dated 1898. The south projecting section is dated 1752 by its façade anchors, while the west doorway, in classical taste, dates from the third quarter of the 18th century. The park retains remains of the former ponds. After serving as a town hall, the building has been recognised as well built, ‘vastgesteld’, since 2021.
