Kasteel Beauvoorde

About

In 1875, the young aristocrat, Arthur Merghelynck, purchased Beauvoorde Castle, which was falling into disrepair. The castle is situated in the charming village of Wulveringem, not far from Veurne (Furnes). In true romantic style, Merghelynck had the castle rebuilt in the way he thought it would have looked in the 17th century. Once completed, he built up a superb collection of furniture and works of art. He also developed the estate grounds to create a stunning new park. Nearly 30 years later, in his will, Merghelynck decided that time should come to a standstill at the castle. His wish was granted. Welcome to the wonderful world of the aristocrat! A very easy-to-use audio-guide in four languages is included in your ticket price. Guided tours for groups are possible, subject to booking in advance. Opening hours All year long: Wednesday: 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm & weekends and public holidays: 10.00 pm - 17. pm
