Turnhout Castle

  Kasteeldreef, Turnhout     more than a year ago

These days the most attractive building in Turnhout functions as a court of law. Turnhout Castle is another must-see sight in the town and the grandiose building deserves a closer look. In the past the fortification also served as a prison, a warehouse, a fire house and a weaving school and today the castle still proudly bears the scars of its rich history. The large murals in the courthouse are also impressive, so it's almost a shame that the only people to see them these days aren't proud nights and beautiful noble women, but drunken or drug dealing youths summoned before a judge. Sadly, the former residence of the dukes of Brabant can only be visited after a written request has been sent to the courthouse.
