Castles in Belgium: Kasteel de Borght, Mechelen

The castle "Kasteel de Borght" - in the 15th century it was a domanial estate - is located in Mechelen, Belgium. It is a compact, two-story building from 1860 on a rectangular ground plan with only four window axes and shows elements of Neo-Gothic and Flemish Renaissance. It is enclosed by a moat on a hill in the middle of the park. The last owner of the domain was Philips Frans Petrus Roose.

The basement houses the kitchen, a wine cellar, storage rooms and the heating system. The architectural interior features mosaic floors in the entrance hall, salons with mirrored glass doors, spare stucco ceilings, and bedrooms with elaborate wooden doors and corner fireplaces.

Kasteel de Borght has been a listed building since 1997.
