Ter Hooge Castle, located just north of Middelburg, is a picturesque moated castle dating from the 15th century. Surrounded by a landscaped park with ancient trees and a pond, it offers a tranquil escape from the city. The castle itself is a private residence and event venue, but parts of the grounds and the park are open to the public. Visitors can admire the castle's exterior, with its stepped gables, towers, and drawbridge, and stroll through the park. Guided tours are occasionally offered during special open days or by appointment. The setting is romantic and photogenic, making it a popular spot for weddings and cultural events. Though you cannot freely enter the castle, the park and views are well worth a short visit.
