Kasteel de Eiken

De Eiken Castle or ter Eiken Castle is a country house on Voordestraat in the Flemish-Brabant village of Humbeek (Grimbergen municipality). In the second half of the 18th century, there were still two separate farmsteads on the site of the current castle, as can be seen on the Ferraris maps (1771-1778). At the end of the 18th century or beginning of the 19th century, these two separate buildings were transformed into a country house on a narrow rectangular floor plan. Throughout history, the castle had quite a few owners who came mainly from Brussels and did not involve themselves as much in Humbeek.
