Château Baesveld, in Flemish neo-Renaissance style, is situated in an estate of ± 22 hectares surrounded by a park and forest. Originally, there was heathland here that was reclaimed around 1800 after being acquired by the Van Outryve de Merckem family. It was Françoise van Outryve de Merckem who had a hunting lodge built. After independence, it came into the possession of Aloïs de Vrière, and his son, Adolphe de Vrière, enlarged the hunting lodge into a castle. The park, orchards, and vegetable garden in English landscape style with ponds and walking paths were laid out at the end of the 19th century. The spacious entrance hall with a majestic oak staircase provides access to various salons, the hunting room, a large dining room with an adjoining terrace, kitchen, and pantry.
