Le château en bref
The Kasteel van Zellik is a Neoclassical château located at Theodoor Coppensstraat 241 in Zellik (Asse, Flemish Brabant). According to the former owner cited in the inventory, it was built in 1780 for Baron d'Olmen de Poederlee, but this date is not corroborated by other sources. The five-bay main block on two storeys, under a double-pitched slate roof, has a rendered façade and a triangular pediment with an oculus, flanked by low two-bay wings. The Louis XVI-style interior retains a hall, a salon, a staircase with a carved balustrade, marble fireplaces and stucco work. A forecourt lined with lime trees and a wrought-iron gate precedes the building. A French formal garden designed around 1960 by René Pechère replaced a water park already visible on the 1823 cadastral map. The château and its surroundings have been protected as a monument and a site since 1987.
