En un regard
Le château en bref
Ter Lucht Castle stands at Koestraat 26 and 30, in Sint-Andries (Bruges), at the centre of a landscaped park of around 10 ha, at the end of a long avenue of lime trees. The lordship is mentioned in 1577 as a property of the de La Coste family, originally from Genoa. Adrien de La Coste had a castle built there in 1642, with a lower courtyard and moats; the chapel of Notre-Dame du Boompje was erected nearby in 1664. The estate later passed to Emmanuel van Outryve d'Ydewalle (1816), to the d'Hanins de Moerkerke family, to General Narcisse Ablay de Perceval (1860), to August de Formanoir de la Cazerie (1885), and then to Christiaan van Caloen (1958). In 1885, an unnamed architect from Ghent restored and enlarged the castle and had the moats removed; stables and a coach house were added in 1891–1892.
