Château d'Attre

The Château d'Attre in Brugelette (Hainaut) was built between 1752 and 1756 by Count Franz Philippe de Gomegnies and is a rare example of an 18th-century castle that has retained almost its entire original interior. The rooms show authentic furniture, Flemish tapestries, original plasterwork, and a remarkable collection of 18th-century art. The castle has been inhabited and run by the same family for generations.

Accessibility is partial. The main entrance has a wide perron staircase, but there is an alternative side entrance via a service door where wheelchair users can reach the ground floor with assistance. The representative salons on the ground floor can be viewed via a level route; the upper floor is only accessible via stairs. The garden consists of gravel paths and lawns, which become more difficult to navigate after rain.

The castle grounds include a large wooded park with historic follies. An adapted toilet is limited in availability; it is recommended to reserve this in advance. Disabled parking spaces are provided at the entrance to the estate. Attre lies in Hainaut between Ath and Mons, and can be combined with a visit to the more accessible Château de Beloeil a few kilometres away.
