Belgium, Aartselaar #001 Solhof Castle

            Solhof Castle

The first castle dates from about 1515.  In 1748, it was replaced by a new castle.  This castle was bought by Baron van Ertborn in 1748.  After the death of his daughter, the Borrekens family became the owners.  At the end of the 19th century, this family had the present Solhof Castle built.  After the death of the next owner, a tobacco trader, the municipality of Aartselaar bought the castle in 1984.  In 1990, the castle was sold on to a hotel chain, while the park remained the property of the municipality.

The Solhof estate and its surroundings have been protected as landscape since 1984.
-------------------------------------------
Het eerste kasteel dateert van omstreeks 1515.  In 1748 werd dit vervangen door een nieuw kasteel.  In 1837 kocht baron van Ertborn het kasteel.  Na het overlijden van zijn dochter werd de familie Borrekens eigenaar.  Deze familie liet op het einde van de 19e eeuw het huidige kasteel Solhof bouwen.  Na de dood van de volgende eigenaar, een tabakhandelaar, kocht de gemeente Aartselaar in 1984 het kasteel.  In 1990 werd het kasteel doorverkocht aan een hotelketen, terwijl het park eigendom bleef van de gemeente.

Het domein Solhof en de omgeving zijn sinds 1984 beschermd als landschap.
