Historical Origin And Design Inspiration

The Castle of Wijnendale is a historically important castle near Wijnendale in West Flanders, Belgium. The present castle is largely a 19th-century reconstruction, but a part of the north-wing is still 15th century. Counts of Flanders and Namur, 11th -14th century
The first castle was built by Robert I, Count of Flanders, at the end of the 11th century and used as a base for military operations. In the 12th and 13th century, Wijnendale became a regular place of residence for the Counts of Flanders and for Philip, Count of Flanders in particular. In 1297 Guy of Dampierre signed a treaty here with the English King Edward I.

In 1298 Wijnendale was inherited by the Counts of Namur and besieged and damaged in 1302 and 1325. It is probable that Blanka of Namur grew up here and met her future husband Magnus IV of Sweden in 1334.

Castle (from Latin castellum) is a type of fortified structure built in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages by European nobility. Scholars debate the scope of the word castle, but usually consider it to be the private fortified residence of a lord or noble. This is distinct from a palace, which is not fortified, from a fortress, which was not always a residence for nobility, and from a fortified town, which was a public defence.
