Zoerselhof is a classicist castle in #Zoersel (Antwerpen), built in 1787 on the site of a medieval farm (Hooidonk) that belonged to Hemiksem's Sint-Bernardus abbey since the 13th century. After a 1754 fire, the estate was rebuilt; during the French period it was seized and sold to private owner J.P. Schmitz in 1797. The rectangular mansion features a 20th-century extension with a chapel, orangery, coach house, L-shaped farm, and a moated pond linked to the Zoerselbos forest.
