Beauvoorde Castle

In 1875, the young aristocrat, Arthur Merghelynck, aged just 22, purchased Beauvoorde Castle, which was falling into disrepair. The château is situated in the charming village of Wulveringem, not far from Veurne (Furnes), in the Westhoek region of Flanders. In true romantic style, Merghelynck had the château rebuilt in the way he thought it would have looked in the 17th century. Once completed, he built up a superb collection of furniture and works of art. He also developed the estate grounds to create a stunning new park. Nearly 30 years later, in his will, Merghelynck decided that time should come to a standstill at the château. His wish was granted. Welcome to the wonderful world of the aristocrat, Arthur Merghelynck!
