About

The Château of Arenberg or Arenberg Castle (Dutch: Kasteel van Arenberg; French: Château d'Arenberg) is a Flemish Renaissance style château in Heverlee, close to Leuven, Belgium. It is surrounded by a park.

Built in place of a 12th-century medieval castle, the current château was started in the 16th century but still underwent many changes in the following centuries. In 1612, it passed into the hands of the Arenberg family, who occupied it until the First World War. The building is now owned by the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven).
