Description
The Stroopfabriek is located along the cycle route network between junctions 152 and 136, making it ideal to combine a visit with a cycle tour through the rolling landscape along the many sights and castles.
Borgloon has no fewer than ten castles that stand guard on the hilltops or hide in the valleys, each one a gem that symbolises a rich past.
Rullingen Castle is a 17th century moated castle. The 13 ha domain includes the castle with moat, a geometric French garden, a park forest, a valuable high-stem orchard with hundreds of fruit trees and a real vineyard of 1 ha.
Hulsberg Castle (1882) was built on a hill that reaches 108 meters above sea level. Because of this hilltop location, the castle is a striking landmark in the landscape.
The oldest mention of Mariagaarde Castle in Hoepertingen dates back to 1150. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was converted into a beautiful noble mansion.
The sub-municipality of Gors-Opleeuw has no less than three beautiful castles: the castle of Gors, the castle of Opleeuw and the castle of Bellevue. It was not without reason that Gors-Opleeuw was nominated in 2008 as one of the most beautiful villages in Flanders.
There are two castles in Bommershoven. The castle of Bommershoven and castle Terhove. The castle of Rijkel is a 17th century U-shaped water castle. Castle De Klee is located in a domain that used to belong to the heritage of the abbey of Herkenrode. Now there remains a mansion from 1907 with a 17th century corner tower and a square farm.
