The 18th century Castle of Neerijse and its domain has been protected
by the "institution for the protection of monuments of Belgium"
since 1978. The Castle was bought by NV Barones in 2003 and has been
renovated into 9 high-quality castle-apartments (+/- 200m² per
flat). A duplex house was added to the castle with a splendid view on
the pond, the Austrian coach-house, the watermill house and the park.
NV Barones is the promotor of the project, specialized in the construction
and renovation of high-quality apartments for a target group that aims
on comfort and safe living. NV Barones has the support of partners with
a rich knowledge as construction coordinator and specializes in project
planning and financial management.
The safety coordination is supervised by Walter
Suykens.
The architect is Marc
Bormans.

The Castle of Neerijse in the middle of a 230 hectare
nature reserve
The Castle has a unique location, surrounded by an ocean of green and
nearby the picturesque centre of Neerijse. It is situated in the green
oasis of 230 ha where several rivers flow such as the Dijle, the Ijse,
the Leiegracht and the Molenbeek. The Castle is surrounded by the nature
reserve of the Doode Bembde; a warranty to continuous residence in the

or the church of Neerijse with its two mysterious towers. Along the
Prins de Bethunelaan bikers can join the vast trajectories of biking
paths.
