You can "access" the remaining parts of the building any time. There's a park behind, as well as a pond. There are many panels around, explaining the history of the site from mid-eighteenth century to 2017 when it was restored (and partially demolished), with historic pictures. Just a pit not more of it could be salvaged. Tja triestig hé, men kon er nog veel meer mee doen. Dan af te breken... zonde. Ok Halloweentocht was ik orde Toffe halloweenavond There is almost anything left of the castle anymore. You can't access it, you can't even get close to it. There is no touristic explanation. Other annoying thing is that they have demolished part of it and created a super modern old-men-house in its place with flat roofs and dark bricks. Something completely different from this pretty historical castle. 2 stars and not one because you can still see something of the old castle and you can have a nice walk in the park next to it. Attended a Halloween night walk here which was really spectacular. On a normal day the old castle is nothing special, just a dilapidated building with a small park, pond, play area around it. The wait was very long this time but normally there is no wait or entry fees. Still undergoing restoration. Site unaccessible. Horrible mismanagment of what could have been a great location. The buildings which were once there should have been restored to former glory and given a new function. What was "restored" is a complete joke. Don't keep buildings in ruins. Restore what is left fully before that collapses too. Het park rond de ruïne ligt in het centrum van Lede en is publiek toegankelijk. In een kwartiertje wandel je rond de ruïne en de centrale vijver. Onderweg is er een statische rij beuken als een kathedraal in open lucht. Ik woon vlakbij en start hier elke dag met een ochtendwandeling. Rlly nice garden and pond accompanied with an old caste. Nice atmosphere and great for taking pictures! Noce spot to take a break - great ruins thats far more impressive when you see the “before pictures” I dont know who was the troglodyte that decided to build on top of a ruin of a beautiful building but here we are... a wonderful piece of history flattened and destroyed because they wanted to build on top of it. No castle ruins it was a nice castel ...but in 5 min you have seen it al.
