The collections

A visit to Loppem Castle is like travelling through time and a trip around the World rolled into one.

The neo-Gothic interiors and the domestic living quarters downstairs show life as it was in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Walking up a stately staircase, you reach the first floor. Upstairs, you can look into the family chapel. And you will see the room where King Albert I and Queen Elizabeth stayed in 1918. The Jean and Roland van Caloen art collections are housed in separate spaces. They offer you the opportunity to enjoy the wonder of works from our Middle Ages as well as a collection of Asian and African art.
