Complete with its moat, Beersel Castle is one of the country’s few well-preserved examples of medieval military architecture. 
The castle was built around 1420 and served as a front line site for the protection of Brussels. 
The fortifications in this fortress are traditional: deep moats, a drawbridge, battlements with parapets and embrasures. 
The castle was also mentioned in the Suske and Wiske album 'De schat van Beersel'.
