Wolfshagen Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Wolfshagen Castle, at Lot (Beersel), was a moated country house with almost rectangular moats, linked to the Bergensesteenweg by an avenue and labelled "Ch(âteau) de Loth" on the Ferraris map. The site may date back to a 12th-century feudal motte belonging to the lords of Aa, an old Brabant family. An archaeological report from the Flemish heritage agency notes traces of a motte, buildings and gateways from the Middle Ages and the early modern period. Altered several times but built around an ancient core, the building, which had a neoclassical appearance, was demolished in 1966. What remains is the gatekeeper's house from the late 18th century, designated an architectural heritage site in 2021, a former chapel converted into a dwelling, and the line of the avenue.
