Turnhout Kasteel

The former moated castle of the dukes of Brabant, not far from the Grote Markt and now used as a law court, once served as a hunting lodge. Maria of Hungary had the first building remodeled by Rombout Keldermans and Dominikus de Waghemakere in the first half of the 16th C. into a fine residence; there were other alterations in the 17th C.
