Ruines du Château d'Amblève

Historical place

👍👍 We had a hard time finding the trail that leads to these ruins. Driving around to a couple places but let me save you some time. Put Emblève 43 in your navigation, park around there and follow the red trail 6 which leads to the ruins. It is quite a steep trail so take your hiking boots. Once arrive...

D'Ursel Castle

Castle

👍 The castle is a nice place to visit. It's quite interesting to visit the former residence of the d'Ursel family. There are mostly portraits and some old furniture on display. Quite a few chambers are dedicated to the Brussels residence of the family, that was torn down in the 1960's. Furthermore, th...

Kasteel van de Hertogen van Brabant

Castle

👍 Nice, from the outside. You can sit around and go on the bridge, but cannot otherwise enter/visit. If you're visiting Turnhout, you will definitely want to take a couple of pictures, since the castle is in the city centre anyway and listed as one of the sites. The public library is just behind it.

4.30 (454 reviews) (~56.79 km from centre)

Poilvache Castle

Tourist attraction

😐 Little remains of the castle ruins, apart from some foundations, smaller towers and 1 big wall of the main building. Together with the fortified walls surrounding the medieval settlement you will still get a good impression of how life must have been here 700 years ago. Information signs provide an...

Restaurant

Hellfire Corner

Historical place

👍👍 Een plaats die je doet nadenken over hoe hevig hier de strijd geweest is. Nu nog wordt door de omwonenden regelmatig munitie uit W0 1 bovengehaald. Bij het graven van putten in de omliggende tuinen moet men altijd voorzichtig tewerk gaan.
