Description

"Kasteel d'Ursel" is a castle in #Hingene (Antwerpen). For over 350 years, it served as the summer residence of the Duke of Ursel. Acquired in 1608 by Conrad Schetz, it was transformed into a grand summer estate. In 1761-1765, Duke Karel van Ursel had it rebuilt in neoclassical style by Giovanni Servandoni, with French-style gardens later becoming an English landscape garden and arboretum.
