Kasteel Trockaert

En un regard

Le château en bref

Trockart Castle (Trockaert) stands at Ulbeek, in the municipality of Wellen (Flemish Limburg), at the locality of Trockart 1. It is a manor house surrounded by moats and preserved arms of water. Its core dates from the 17th century and was incorporated into an 18th-century building whose classicising appearance has remained uniform. The service wings, of early origin, were enlarged in 1883, and the château received an extension in 1895, the year a small landscaped park was created. Three bridges with stone piers from the 18th and 19th centuries, along with wrought-iron gates, cross the moats. The former forecourt was converted into a garden in 1883. The château (buildings and interior), the embankments and moat arms, the garden, the forecourt, the small park and the park woodland are protected as a monument by Flemish ministerial decree (2008), for their architectural, historical and landscape value.
