Belgium Zevenbergen Castle

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
The long history of Zevenbergen Castle starts at the end of the 13th century. For many centuries, noble families with their colourful histories lived there. The castle passes from generation to generation through inheritance and thus stands the test of time.

In 1914, at the beginning of the First World War, it was destroyed.

From 1934, an annex is inhabited by Valentine de Gilman, the sole heiress. Valentine is taken care of by the sisters of the Convent of Bethlehem in a difficult period. In 1953, in gratitude, she donated part of her property, the domain of the castle and adjacent woods, to the sisters.

In 1968 the original castle was demolished and replaced by new buildings.

The nuns of the Convent of Bethlehem left the castle in 2020. Zevenbergen Castle is currently still used as a reflection centre.
