Le château en bref
Brandepoel Castle is a late nineteenth-century neo-Baroque manor house located on Brandepoelstraat in Alken, in the Flemish province of Limburg. Built of brick on a plinth of bluestone, it has two storeys beneath a mansard roof; its central projecting bay, emphasised by corner quoins of bluestone with false joints, is crowned by an arched dormer with scrolled volutes, and the entrance door supports a stone balcony on the piano nobile. It replaced a larger château from the first half of the nineteenth century, already shown on the Atlas of the Vicinal Roads of 1844. The park, dating from the first quarter of the nineteenth century, surrounded an estate that was leased around 1900 to the Assumptionist Fathers of Zepperen. According to the Flemish inventory of parks, the former estate is today divided into several dwellings and small businesses. The château was listed on the Flemish inventory of architectural heritage from 24 September 2009 to 1 February 2018.
