Hof ter Mick

Hof ter Mick in Brasschaat is a 37-hectare historic estate centered on a neoclassical castle designed by architect Barnabé Guimard and built in 1785, featuring Italian Renaissance design elements and a distinctive U-shaped floor plan. Originally enlarged in 1830, the castle was substantially rebuilt following a major fire in 1871 under the direction of the Della Faille de Leverghem family, prominent Antwerp nobility. The expansive surrounding park was landscaped in English style by renowned designer Charles-Henri Petersen, creating scenic pathways and naturalistic plantings. The estate is protected as a cultural heritage site in Belgium and represents an important example of late 18th-century aristocratic architecture and garden design in the Kempen region.
