About Renesse Castle
The Castle de Renesse is a castle located in the village of Oostmalle Malle, in the Campine region of the province of Antwerp Flanders, Belgium. It is currently owned by the municipality of Malle. In 1374 Jan van Harduemont sold his domain in Oostmalle to Costijn van Berchem, a descendant of Arnoldus Berchthout, who lived near Antwerp. Willem van Berchem, who himself lived at Wommelgem, built a castle at Oostmalle between 1431 and 1464. He was married to Mechtildis Cock van Werdenborgh. Nothing remains of this original castle, and the only remaining visible vestiges are the donjon which now is the articulation point of the castle and the so-called tournament beam which is now
placed above the fireplace in the knight room. In 1459 his daughter Elisabeth married Wouter van Hamal, who thereby inherited the Oostmalle domain, and added vast property in Limburg and Liege. On 30 November 1501, their daughter Anna van Hamal married Frederik van Renesse b. 13 March 1470, descendant of a Diederick VI, 12th count of Holland and Sophie van Rheinick.
