Belgium Broechemhof Castle
Broechemhof Castle is a rectangular castle dating from around 1650, which was rebuilt in the 18th and 20th centuries. Philips le Roy, lord of Oelegem-Broechem since 1644, had it built.
The estate was inherited by the children of Philips le Roy, but they renounced the inheritance and sold the seigniory and the castle.
The later owner Jean Charles Antoine de Fraula had the castle rebuilt in Louis XVI style around 1790. The estate remained in the hands of the de Fraula family until 1868.
In 1997, the castle was protected as a monument. The castle grounds and their surroundings are protected as village scenery.
