This property is on the market for €1,850,000, listed with Belgium Sotheby’s Realty.

Dating back to 1702, Hôtel Duquesne De La Vinelle is a fine example of the local ‘Tournaisien’ style popular in this region from the 17th to 19th centuries, inspired by Louis XV style.

Impeccably maintained, the mansion features much of its original architecture and period details throughout.

In its entirety, the estate spans 35 acres, and the property is nestled between its land and formal gardens and a courtyard facing the road with 2 garages.

From its courtyard entrance, the nearly 13,000 square foot mansion reveals a fine grand staircase leading up to 19 rooms, 7 of which are bedroom suites, with an addition on the West Wing, and several staff rooms in the attic.

On the ground floor, the 13 “royal apartments” include the dining room, 3 reception rooms, a library, 2 offices, a kitchen and a back kitchen.

The formal gardens offer the best view of this historic property, located in the town of Tournai, a hidden gem in Belgian near the border of France and Flanders.
