Bouchout Castle
Organising your event or conference at Bouchout Castle
A separate entrance with a majestic staircase to welcome your guests, and rooms accommodating 10 to 140 people. From plenary sessions to workshops and breakout sessions, everything is possible in one building. Be inspired by the rich history of this place: eight noble families once held sway here, from the Dukes of Brabant to the de Beauffort family in the 19th century. Empress Charlotte, sister of King Leopold II, lived in the castle from the death of her husband Maximilian of Austria, Emperor of Mexico, until her own death in 1927.
