Private castle, the castle of Freÿr is located along the Meuse River, in Belgium. This castle is furnished and still inhabited by its owners. A first castle was built in the 14th century and then destroyed in the 16th century. The Renaissance castle, as we know it today, was then built and enlarged in the 17th century.

These classic terraced gardens include three-year-old orange trees (kept in winter in the oldest orangery of the old Netherlands) and several kilometers of vegetable labyrinth. The visit of the castle is done with a paper support which you can also download on the website, which is very convenient if you want to find information.
