Halfway between Antwerp and Lier, on the boundary with Hove and Mortsel, you will find Kasteel Fruithof set in a beautiful park with a lake. The grounds are located between the main road from Mortsel to Lier and that from Mortsel to Mechelen and is easy to reach from both roads within five minutes (follow the signposts).
The spacious parking facilities inside the castle grounds make parking easy.
