"Kasteel van Huizingen", located in #Huizingen (Vlaams-Brabant), was first documented in 1491 as a house or farmstead. Rebuilt in 1545 after a fire, it became known as "Hoff ter Borght". The castle, originally U-shaped, was modernized in 1875 by Albert Vaucamps into a square-plan structure in Flemish neo-renaissance style. A 90-ha park with 12 km of paths was added. The estate includes a 1918 gatehouse, an 1879 coach house, a small dovecote, a 52,000 m² rock garden, a stream, a brick bridge, two ice cellars, a pond, and remnants of a 16th-century tombstone.
