♿ Wheelchair accessible

The Château de Seneffe is a splendid example of 18th-century neoclassical architecture in the province of Hainaut. Built between 1763 and 1768 for the Viennese banker Julien Depestre, the château today houses the Silverware Museum, featuring an exceptional collection of silversmith works from the 17th to the 20th century. The estate includes a magnificent 22-hectare park with a formal French garden, a romantic English landscape garden, a theatre and an orangery.

Accessibility at the château is good. The museum has a lift providing access to the upper floor. Entry is via a ramp along the right side, where a guard or reception staff member can assist. The gardens are fully accessible and offer flat, paved paths suitable for wheelchairs. Adapted toilets are located on the second floor, accessible by lift. The château is Access-i certified for visitors with reduced mobility.

The Château de Seneffe is located near the E19 between Brussels and Mons and is easily reached by car. PMR parking spaces are available near the entrance. The estate regularly hosts temporary exhibitions, concerts and seasonal activities. A visit combines perfectly with a picnic or walk in the extensive château grounds.
