Castle ‘Diepensteyn’ at Steenhuffel (Belgium)
Castle Diepensteyn has a rich medieval history going back to the 12th century.
It was however abandonned and fell into total disrepair at the end of the 18th century.
In 1993, a beer brewery bought the grounds and decided to restore the remaining ruins.
During 2 years, the restorers made all possible efforts to make a copy as close as possible to the original edifice.
After the restoration, the grounds of the castle are also used as a very famous studfarm with the stables (not visible in the picture) as real luxury homes for the grand collection of draft horses of the brewery.
To illustrate this, a big bronze statue of a Belgian draft horse decorates the castle’s forecourt.
Thanks to the “Palm” brewery, castle Diepensteyn rose again from the dead.

Excellent view!It, is valid, fine that such beautiful castle has received the second life. It is a pity that at us such seldom happens. And architecture monuments collapse also them simply take down.
