"Kasteel Cantecroy" in #Mortsel (Antwerpen), Belgium (originally Cantincrode), is one of Antwerpen province's oldest castles, with parts dating to the 13th-14th centuries and a 15th-century chapel. First mentioned in 1239, it passed through families like Berthout, Ranst, Granvelle, and Fiennes, who rebuilt it in Flemish Renaissance style around 1700. Notable events include repelling Iconoclasts in 1566 and demolition of fortifications in 1616.
