    One of the best places or castles I've visited in Belgium. The castle's garden was open to the public so we were able to go around it. Benches around the area is also available if you want to just sit and enjoy the beauty of the castle. It looks well preserved. Highly recommended visit. We just took the train from Brussels so Gent then bus 34 to this castle.

    Nice place with a nice looking castle in the middle with decent garden area. Good for a day out in summer weekend. The water bodies could have maintained well. You can also take home cooked food and seat there in a nice place in sun or shade as per your choice with your friends and family and enjoy.

    Cute little castle/chateau. Well kept and still lived in by the family who own it. It's an interesting building and estate design. There is a guided tour with a strict schedule. No photos allowed inside. I cane for the Elftopia event so decided to check it out to beat the heat that day.

    When in Belgium this is a highlight you must see. One of the most beautiful castles of Belgium. It's still inhabited by the count but a guided visit is possible.

    Ah this place is magical! Its hard to believe that people actually own and live in this castle. Its something out of a fairytale. The lady at the front desk was very friendly. The gardens are beautiful! Lots of spots to take pictures! I didnt go inside the castle as I wasn't really interested in the guided tour but the outside was very beautiful and peaceful

    Beautiful and charming castle. We paid 3/1 euro for adult/kid to walk in the park. Its well maintained and clean. Apparently it's now inhabited by the sixth generation.

    I wasn't inside the castle. But the way to the castle was beautifully made and it was a very nice experience driving towards the castle. Nice area to walk around and the castle did seem very beautiful, but the entry cost was around 10€ per person which was to much for my small budget :(

    Well maintained castle with a big beautiful park around. Pitty that you can't visit inside but it's because of the corona. 3 euros for visiting the outside park. Parking places available at the entrance of the domain.

    Wonderful Park, with beautiful garden. Castle itself should be open for Group visits from July 2021.

    Nice but you can only visit the interior on Sunday. Plan accordingly.

    Great Elftopia festival at the castle of Ooidonk.

  • 5/5 Dmitry Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Stayed in an Airbnb inside the castle. Surreal experience in the best sense of the word - an actual, inhabited castle with beautiful garden and charming historical interior still owned by the family that actually lives there.

    There is also during easter weekend a flee market with entry of 8 eur. So we had to pay 20 eur ( including tour guide of 12)

    Beautiful castle, a short walk inside after lunch in the restaurant which is right next to it.

  • 5/5 Vira K. 11 months ago on Google
    Beautiful castle. We didn't get inside.

    My mother and I stayed here a year ago and it was AMAZING. Exactly as pictured! The grounds were amazing, the grounds keeper was so friendly and wonderful. We really felt welcome here. My mother still talks about our stay here and was one of the highlights of her entire trip to Europe. 5 stars honestly are not enough! 10/10!

    This was definitely worth the bike ride out to. The times are different on the door than advertised here, opened at 1pm. We only toured the gardens but they are very impressive gardens around an awesome castle.

    Feels like a dream. So nice the castle and surrounding nature. We really enjoy it.

    A very beautiful castle on the outskirts of Deinze, kept as original as possible. It is still the home of the Count and his family and can only be visited with a guide, due to the privacy of the residents. The tour is very informative and is only available in Dutch or English. The castle also has a very beautiful garden which can be visited without a guide. It is necessary to book your visit in advance for the guided tour (which cost us 12 euros per adult). Visiting the garden does not require booking and costs 3 euros. The only drawback is that more than half of the castle is closed to tourists, but this is understandable.

    Today (Aug) only visit of the gardens. Very peaceful, beautiful views on the castle. 4 stars! Today (Oct) guided tour of the interior of the castle, still inhabited, thus completely furbished ; Chapel, dining rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms... all historically preserved : really worth to come here!

    It is winter and the castle is closed. But the garden and grounds were wonderful in spite of the rain. May be worth visiting in summer when the castle is open.
