Baroque

The stately home at Hingene was the ‘maison de plaisance’ of the aristocratic d’Ursel family for almost four centuries. Now, it belongs to the Province of Antwerp who has restored the castle to its former glory with passion.

On this festive evening, the grand hall of the castle will once again be transformed into an 18th-century ballroom, replete with flickering candles on the driveway, beautiful costumes, and elegant ladies and gentlemen.

In 1697, Campras’s opera-ballet “L’Europe Galante” caused a sensation, with its sumptuous scenes set in a Spanish Garden, a Venetian Carnival and a Turkish Harem.
