Ooidonk Castle is one of the highlights of the Leie Region. The water fortress stands proud, stern and opulent in an old bend in the Leie River. It is surrounded by a beautiful, 45-hectare park. Ooidonk is sometimes described as one of the most beautiful castles in Belgium and as a gem of Flemish-Spanish architecture of the 16th century. Be sure to visit the the gardens too.
