Loppem Castle Maze

Loppem Castle Maze

On the edge of the beautiful castle park of Loppem, protected as a cultural-historical landscape, is one of the few 'real' mazes in Belgium. This maze was designed in 1873 by the young Albert and Ernest van Caloen and is more than 20 ares in size. Dozens of corridors with a total of one and a half kilometers of green and red hornbeam lead to a central tree. Who will hit first? Finding the exit is also sometimes less easy than it seems...

Loppem Castle

The impressive castle is set in a romantic park with ponds and a maze – an ideal outing for young and old! Individual visitors can tour the castle from March until the end of the autumn break (end of October into the beginning of November in Belgium). Groups can visit the castle every day of the year, by appointmen
