Château de Baudries

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Baudries stands in the heart of Dikkelvenne (municipality of Gavere, East Flanders), in the valley of the Boeversbeek, at the end of an avenue that leads from the village church. The seat of a lordship attested from the mid-14th century and whose archives cover 1624–1796, the château is an 18th-century building that was profoundly remodelled and enlarged between 1893 and 1897, with lateral wings, in a Beaux-Arts style attributed to the architect Octave Flanneau; a separate gatehouse completes the ensemble. The 19th-century landscape park is attributed to Henri Duchêne and his son and retains hydraulic structures linked to the historical use of water. Following the favourable opinion of the Flemish Heritage Commission (13 October 2023), the estate is protected as a historical-cultural landscape, with the château, its wings and outbuildings, and the gatehouse protected as monuments.
