België - Bazel, Kasteel Wissekerke
Kasteel Wissekerke (Wissekerke Castle) is situated in the village of Bazel. As early as the 10th century, a fortification stood on this spot to defend the area against Viking raids.
In the 13th century, construction of Wissekerke Castle began. In the 16th century, the castle was rebuilt. After it was partially burnt down in 1583, it was rebuilt mainly for comfort and lost most of its defensible features.
Throughout the 19th century, Kasteel Wissekerke was the seat of influential nobles. In the mid-20th century, they left the castle, after which it was bought by the municipality. Today, the catles serves as a museum.
