The Little Castle on Molenstraat, Watervliet

Amidst the quiet village life of Watervliet, hidden behind an elegant iron gate, lies a small castle that exudes as much charm as refinement. A stately 19th-century house, once built as a country retreat, today an oasis of peace and elegance - where time seems to have no rush.
The static facade, plastered in soft pink tones, is supported by blue stone accents and a graceful symmetry that immediately shows character. Via the wide staircase you reach the entrance hall: high ceilings, graceful moldings, and windows that generously let in the light. Every detail tells something about the craftsmanship of the past - from the wrought iron railings to the original carpentry that has been carefully preserved.
Surrounding the house is an old, partly moated garden, totaling almost 3 hectares. Here the house is reflected in the pond, among mature beeches and oaks. A place that invites stillness - a rare balance between grandeur and coziness.
