Kasteel Hof van Liere in Zandhoven is a moated castle with origins dating to 1465, rebuilt during the early 15th century and again extensively renovated in 1803 under Lord Jacobus Meyers, whose restoration work established the castle's current character. Protected as a monument since 1993, the estate encompasses two moats, 19th-century Neo-Gothic service buildings including a porter's lodge and coach house, and a tranquil five-hectare park with ponds, forests, meadows, stables, and a gatehouse. The castle's serene Antwerp countryside setting and well-preserved architectural heritage make it a significant regional landmark showcasing the evolution of Flemish aristocratic estates and rural architectural traditions.
