Kasteel van Ooidonk is an elegant Spanish-Flemish Renaissance castle situated in a picturesque bend of the Leie River near Ghent, Belgium. Rebuilt in 1595, it showcases distinctive architectural features including characteristic step gables and owl-shaped towers that rival the châteaux of the Loire Valley.
