Historic Fruit Wall at the d'Ursel Castle Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

The restoration of the fruit wall of d'Ursel Castle was awarded the prize for historic gardens in 2015.
Certainly a successful restoration.
During our visit the pears were still hard and sour. You can also come and park here for a visit to the castle domain d'Ursel or the polders behind it.

The restored fruit wall is the last remaining part of the walled kitchen garden.

It is the last tangible remnant of the historic kitchen garden, the orangery, and the greenhouses. Shortly before the sale of the castle and estate (1973), they were demolished by order of the Duke and sold brick by brick. The fruit wall remained standing, but gradually fell into disrepair.
The wall was re-covered with Boom tiles.
Many hooks, once used to attach espaliered fruit, are still present in the wall.
The wall and the project won the Hans Vredeman de Vries Prize for the restoration of historic gardens in 2015.

A bench to take a break, have something to eat/drink and enjoy the view. Wonderful, especially in the winter sun.

Chapel of Saint Benedict

Highlight • Religious Site

It was built in 1888 on the Hingen coulter by order of Joseph, sixth duke. The altar table states that she was 'chopped and carved from the Rochlitzerberg near Wechselburg', a village in eastern Germany that was the summer residence of Sophie, Joseph's sister, and her husband Charles, Graf von Schönburg-Glauchau. The colorful bas-relief in glazed ceramic above the entrance door was made by the Italian firm Maioliche Artistiche Cantagalli from Florence. Both Joseph and his younger brother Léo often visited Italy and, as wealthy, pious travelers, they probably brought this medallion with them as a souvenir.
(From the brochure "Out and about with the Duke")
