Nazareth-De Pinte seeks new purpose for historic Kinderkasteeltje: "No restaurant or hotel"

The municipality of Nazareth-De Pinte is seeking a partner to repurpose the historic Kinderkasteeltje, which will be vacant from mid-2027. The building, dating back to the 19th century, previously served as a home for noble sisters and later for Cistercian monks providing care for vulnerable children. With current occupants relocating to a new facility, the municipality aims to find a candidate to renovate the building while respecting its heritage. The focus is on creating a community facility rather than commercial ventures like restaurants or hotels, aligning with the original charitable intent of the donation. The Kinderkasteeltje will also be integrated into the nearby Vlinderpark to foster collaboration between services.
