The Slot

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Slot (Het Slot, "the castle surrounded by moats") is the surviving fragment of a former seigneurial residence in the Woluwe valley, on the Boulevard de la Woluwe in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert. It is said to have belonged to a residential complex of the lords of Woluwe and Kraainem, in the Duchy of Brabant. The present building, in the Renaissance style, dates from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century and replaces an older square structure, whose stone foundations and timber-framed walls were identified during the excavations of 1984. Isolated, fortified and originally surrounded by water, it was associated with a brewery and a farm.
