About

Het Steen (Dutch; lit. 'the stone' or 'the rock'), also referred to popularly as the Rubens Castle (Rubenskasteel), is a castle in Elewijt, Flemish Brabant, in Belgium. It is notable as the country house of the artist Peter Paul Rubens between 1635 and his death in 1640. Het Steen itself features in several of Rubens's late landscape paintings.
