    (Translated by Google) English: Already in the 13th century there is the "Hooftvunder" farm on the site of the current castle, a fortified farm surrounded by a moat. This farm grows into a reinforced estate that repeatedly changes ownership. In 1524, Gerard Sterck, merchant, banker and secret counselor of Emperor Charles V, buys the estate and he transforms the farm into a Renaissance-style castle, from then on called Sterckshof Castle. Unlike other castles in Antwerp, the Sterckshof is not destroyed during the wars in the 16th and 17th centuries, but it is neglected after an argument between heirs in the 17th century. From 1693 the Sterckshof became the property of the Jesuits of Lier, but the castle was destroyed by the War of Austrian Succession (1740-1748). After the abolition of the Jesuit Order, the castle was publicly sold in 1778 to the banker Jan Baptist Cogels, who merged it with his Ter Rivieren estate. In 1921 the Antwerp provincial government buys the Ter Rivieren estate (with the Sterckshof castle) to turn it into the current Rivierenhof park. From the Sterckshof there is only a one-storey front building with one tower, the entrance gate and a few outbuildings standing. Architect J.A. In 1922, Van der Gucht signed the plans for the reconstruction. On the basis of old images and archaeological excavations on the spot, an imaginative reconstruction arises in the 1930s with later applied interior fragments from Antwerp mansions that were demolished in the 1950s. English: Sterckshof is about 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) east of the center of Antwerp. [1] It is situated on an altitude of 3 meters (9.8 ft) above sea level. [2] From as early as the 13th century the site of the castle was occupied by the fortified "Hooftvunder" farmhouse, surrounded by a moat. It was probably used to defend a nearby wooden bridge over the Grote Schijn River. [3] In 1523 it was described as a farm with a house, brewery, moat, ponds, fishery, etc. That year it was purchased by Gerard Sterck, who erected up picturesque buildings with a castle, towers and turrets, and called it Sterckhof, a name it retains today. [4] Gerards grandson was Guillaume de Berghes, bishop of Antwerp. In Sterck's monument in Antwerp cathedral it is described as a knight, and the lord of Busquoy, Wyneghem, Casterlé and Hooft-Vundere. [5] Sterck was a merchant, banker and secretary of the Emperor Charles V. Another owner, Jacob Edelheer, furnished the castle with art collections and scientific collections. [3] Unlike other castles in Antwerp, the Sterckshof was not destroyed during the wars of the 16th and 17th centuries, but it was neglected during a dispute between the heirs after the owner, Jacob van Lemens, died childless in 1664. From 1693 Sterckshof was owned by the Jesuits of Lier, but the castle was damaged or allowed to deteriorate during the war of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order, the estate was sold in 1776 to the banker Jan Baptist Cogels, who merged it with his Ter Rivieren estate. [3] By the 1880s the buildings, long uninhabited, were no more than ruins.

Deze hoeve groeit uit tot een versterkt landgoed dat herhaaldelijk van eigenaar wisselt. In 1524 koopt Gerard Sterck, koopman, bankier en geheim raadsman van keizer Karel V, het landgoed en hij verbouwt de hoeve tot een kasteel in renaissancestijl, vanaf dan het kasteel Sterckshof genaamd. In tegenstelling tot andere kastelen in Antwerpen wordt het Sterckshof niet verwoest tijdens de oorlogen in de 16de en 17de eeuw, maar het wordt wel verwaarloosd na een ruzie tussen erfgenamen in de 17de eeuw. Vanaf 1693 is het Sterckshof eigendom van de jezuïeten van Lier, maar het kasteel vervalt door de Oostenrijkse Successieoorlog (1740-1748). Na de opheffing van de Jezuïetenorde wordt het kasteel in 1778 openbaar verkocht aan de bankier Jan Baptist Cogels, die het samenvoegt met zijn landgoed Ter Rivieren. In 1921 koopt het Provinciebestuur van Antwerpen het landgoed Ter Rivieren (met het kasteel Sterckshof) om er het huidige park Rivierenhof van te maken. Van het Sterckshof staan dan alleen nog een voorbouw van één verdieping met één toren, de ingangspoort en enkele bijgebouwen overeind. Architect J.A. Van der Gucht tekent in 1922 de plannen voor de wederopbouw. Aan de hand van oude afbeeldingen en archeologische opgravingen ter plaatse verrijst in de jaren 1930 een tot de verbeelding sprekende reconstructie met later aangebrachte interieurfragmenten uit Antwerpse herenhuizen die in de jaren 1950 zijn afgebroken.

    (Translated by Google) The historical heritage of Antwerp. The castle was founded in the 15th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries, he served as a “dacha” for owners, since In the summer, the medieval cities turned into a hotbed of stench and disease: lack of sewage, waste on the streets, a host of flies ... In the 30s of the twentieth century, the city bought the castle from the owners. At the same time it was restored. For a long time there was the Museum of Silver. Now the room is used for the exhibition. (Original) Историческое наследие Антверпена. Замок был заложен ещё в 15 веке. В 17-18 веках служил "дачей" для владельцев, т.к. средневековые города летом превращались в рассадник вони и болезней: отсутствие канализации, отходы на улицах, сонмы мух... В 30-е годы ХХ века город выкупил замок у владельцев. Тогда же его отреставрировали. Долгое время там был Музей серебра. Сейчас помещение используется под выставки.
