Kasteel Ter Donck

Kluisbergen, Belgium

Castle Ter Donck or Castle Ter Donckt is a castle in the Scheldt valley in Berchem (Kluisbergen), south of Oudenaarde. The estate has existed since the thirteenth century and is the oldest building in the municipality. The name 'donckt' refers to the Germanic 'donk', which means a slight elevation in the middle of a lower-lying marshy area. The name corresponds to the location of the castle, which stands just slightly higher on a narrow, elevated sandy ridge above the surrounding land, with lower-lying, wet grounds all around.
