Le château en bref
Ter Meeren Castle, in Sterrebeek (Zaventem), is built around a moated 14th-century keep, the seat of the lordships of Zaventem and Sterrebeek, attested from 1381. An L-shaped wing and a stair tower of brick and sandstone were added in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1860, the Antwerp architect Joseph Schadde restored and enlarged it for Baron Aloys de Fierlant in an historicist style blending Gothic and Flemish Renaissance elements, with outbuildings added in 1862 and an English-style landscaped park. The castle has been a listed monument since 2001, and its estate has been protected since 1974.
