Seneffe Castle is a Neoclassical castle built in the 18th century, between 1763 and 1768, on the initiative of the businessman Julien Depestre, based on plans by the architect Laurent-Benoît Dewez.
The château now houses the Musée de l’Orfèvrerie, which displays a significant collection dedicated to tableware, silverware and everyday life in the 18th century. Themed exhibitions and events are regularly organised in the château and on the estate.
Seneffe Castle is surrounded by extensive grounds covering 22 hectares, which include gardens, a large pond, a theatre and several areas ideal for walking and hosting events.
Practical information
→ Building works in progress !
The car park remains accessible whilst works are underway.
The footpath located within the works area will be closed. Access to the cycle parking area remains possible, however.
Once scaffolding has been erected around the château, access via the disabled access ramp will be temporarily unavailable. Visitors will be informed of this at the time.
Whilst tarpaulins are being installed, one of the galleries – often used for wedding photographs – will be inaccessible.
The exact schedule for the installation of the scaffolding will be announced by the château shortly.
