Kasteel Cappenberg

Hove, Belgium, Belgium

---

Kasteel Cappenberg is a historic castle in Hove, a small municipality in the province of Antwerp, Belgium, situated where the Wouwstraat 44 meets the railway line along the Groenstraat, close to the border with Mortsel.

It was originally a manor house and farm complex that was leally tied to the County of Cantecroy in Mortsel, and in the 16th century it is said to have been used as a prison for that county, reflecting its role in local justice and administration. 

The building is a rectangular castle set in a tree-lined garden with a grassy park on the south side, and it stands quietly within a residential area alongside other estates such as Hoveberg and Cleytkant, making it a modest but well-preserved example of a suburban manor house in the Antwerp region.
