Rivieren Castle (Ganshoren)

Rivieren Castle (Château de Rivieren; Kasteel ter Rivieren) is a 12th-century castle in Ganshoren, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium. The castle is surrounded by a pond (a vestige of the large medieval moat), in a park of 10 ha: Albert Park.

History
Originally a defence tower, the present-day castle was built in different phases from the 12th to the 19th centuries. Originally a possession of the Clutinck (Clutinc/Clutinckx) family, it later changed ownership several times until it finally was sold in 1973. Nowadays, it is used for conferences, receptions, expositions and similar kinds of events.
