Bautersemhof

Highlight • Castle

Bautersemhof Castle (also: Boutersemhof) is a castle in the Antwerp town of Zandhoven, located at Boutersemdreef 15.
This is the former tax farm of the Bautersem family that was already mentioned in 1270. At that time it was a farm, which was converted into a country estate in the 17th century. Renovations and extensions also took place in the 19th century.
The domain is surrounded by a figure-8 moat and is entered over a bridge and through a gate that is flanked on the left and right by service buildings from around 1800. A second bridge leads to the square in front of the castle. This building has a rectangular plan.


In front of the castle is a cedar that is more than 100 years old. There is a bird reserve near the castle. The domain borders the Binnenbos.

Our Lady Church, Pulderbos

Highlight • Religious Site

According to tradition, the parish in Pulderbos probably originated around a Maria chapel near the Willeboerebeek. Initially it must have been a tree chapel with a wooden lady statue. Legend has it that the statue, taken several times, always returned to its place. A silk thread led from the chapel to the place in the village where the church will later be built in which the statue will be housed

Stone Windmill of Pulderbos

Highlight • Monument

A few hundred meters from the center of Pulderbos we find the mill at Molenheide 67. Construction work started in March 1840. The stone windmill first turned in 1843. Today it is protected along with its surroundings. The mill turns and grinds on Sunday afternoons. The mill is even open to the public between 1 and 6 pm (in winter until 5 pm). Feel free to take a look inside. You can see the miller at work, learn a lot in the exhibition 'from grain to flour' and buy a delicious mill bread on the side.
You can also visit the mechanical mill, the Molenhuis, the Karkot Museum and the Bijenhal on the site.

The mill can also be viewed in a group by appointment. Make your appointment via the Zandhoven Tourism Office.
