Schulensmeer

Highlight • Lake

The lake is fed by water from the Demer. The Mangelbeek, the Zwarte Beek, the Herk, the Gete, the Velpe and the Begijnenbeek also flow in the same valley. The lake covers 90 hectares, surrounded by the inner dike, which expands to 150 hectares, surrounded by an outer dike, during large water inflows, on the territory of Linkhout and Schulen. The lake is 2.8 km long, about 180 m wide and 7 to 8 m deep. This makes the Schulensmeer the largest inland water in Flanders when it fills up to the outer dikes.

Terbiest Castle

Highlight • Castle

The 17th-century Terbiest Castle estate is a landscape-style park with picturesque early 20th-century kakar with interesting trees in which part of the moat to the northeast has been preserved.

Ter Biest belongs to the ring of castle domains north of Sint-Truiden. The estate is located south of the Melsterbeek, on the edge of the advancing city. It is one of the rare domains that has not suffered too much from the transition from private ownership to state ownership.

Binderveld Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle is first mentioned in 1135. Afterwards the castle became dilapidated and it was rebuilt by Hieronymus Van Copis (1635-1653). But the water castle, probably so called because of the ring moat that surrounds the complex, had a turbulent history. In 1636 it was plundered by Croatian troops led by the German Jan, Count von Werth, and in 1637 it was destroyed again, this time by Dutch troops. In 1654, Lorraine troops occupied the castle and in 1728 it burned down completely due to an accident. It was J.B.C. Le Roy, baron van Binderveld, who rebuilt the castle in 1729. We can see this from the date and the coat of arms of Le Roy-Coloba in the facade stone above the door of the living area. It became a semi-closed complex of which the gate tower and the house were preserved. The drawbridge was replaced by a stone bridge in 1865 by the Schrijnmakers family. The chapel had already been replaced in 1842 by the current church of Binderveld.
A few years ago it was transformed into Wijnslot Byrleveldt.
