Rumbeke Castle (Dutch: Kasteel van Rumbeke) is a historical building in Rumbeke in West Flanders, Belgium, one of the oldest Renaissance castles in the country.
Although most of the building was built during the Renaissance on the site of a much older fortress, it gained some slightly Neoclassical features after its renovation during the 18th century. During those renovations, the adjacent forest, the Sterrebos or the Star Forest, was added to its grounds. The forest was modelled after the Prater park in Vienna.
According to legend, Baldwin Iron Arm, Count of Flanders, kidnapped Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald in 862 in Senlis and brought her to the fortress that used to be at the very location where the present castle now stands. With the intervention of the Pope, the two lovers married in Auxerre, which then resulted in the creation of the County of Flanders.
The castle of Rumbeke suffered damage during the invasion of Flanders by French king Louis XIV, as well as during the French Revolution and in both world wars more than a century later.
During the First World War, it was taken over by the Germans and became for a short period of time, the home of Baron Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron, who was credited with shooting down 80 enemy aircraft in his brightly painted red airplane.
The castle can be seen in the movie That Lucky Touch, a comedy which was partially shot in Rumbeke in 1975, starring Roger Moore and Shelley Winters.

Wouter van Veldhoven describes himself as: “tape recorder addict, musician”. The manner and order of this self-description obviously has some importance for him, as his live performances are driven by an imposing assemblage of old and self-built tape recorders and related electronic equipment. Live, the overall effect is impressive, both audibly and visually. Incendiary magazine was moved to say that van Veldhoven’s sound was “a vast womblike racket [...] his cosmic bubble being floated by a wall of old synths and things that looked like they’d been nicked from Alan Turing’s shed.”
Van Veldhoven sums artistic matters up in another brief character sketch: “lots of hiss, nostalgia and moving parts.”
Gus Green Van Sant, Jr. (born July 24, 1952) is an American film director, screenwriter, painter, photographer, musician and author who has earned acclaim as both an independent and more mainstream filmmaker. His films typically deal with themes of marginalized subcultures, in particular homosexuality; as such, Van Sant is considered one of the most prominent auteurs of the New Queer Cinema movement.
De 'Inscripties van Behistun' (UNESCO Werelderfgoed) van de Achaemenidische koning Darius de Grote. In deze inscriptie maakt hij zijn overwinning op zijn rivalen en zijn door God gegeven koningschap wereldkundig. De inscriptie is door Sir Henry Rawlinson in 1835 ontcijferd. Hier zullen we aan de hand van illustraties de historische betekenis van deze inscriptie nader onderzoeken. In dit gebied zijn er meerdere interessante rotsreliëfs en een middeleeuwse karavanserai te bewonderen. Het begon regenachtig maar het klaarde snel op. In plaatselijk tentje thee en koekjes genuttigd.
