Lodewijk Van Male

Welcome to Lodewijk Van Male

Lodewijk Van Male is a beautiful location just outside the centre of Bruges, steeped in history and charm. The castle is said to have been built in the 17th century by a Bruges lawyer and was purchased in 1831 by Baron Eugène de Peellaert, who had the estate further renovated.

In 1946, the castle came into the hands of the Derycke family. They transformed the park and the castle into the Lodewijk van Male hotel and restaurant. Lodewijk Van Male has since become an established name in Bruges and the surrounding area.

Today, Salons ‘Lodewijk van Male’ is the ideal location for wedding parties, communions, anniversaries, birthdays and staff parties. Since 2011, the third generation of the Derycke family, with Frederic Derycke at the helm, has been guaranteeing a warm welcome and flawless organisation every day.
