Slot Oostende or Slot Ostende is a former castle in Goes. The castle was located between Sint Adriaanstraat, Wijngaardstraat, Oostendestraat and Singelstraat in the centre of Goes. An old hall of the castle is part of the current Singelstraat 5, a national monument. A former tower is also included in the current buildings. In 2009, the municipality decided to expose more remains of the castle. In the meantime, test excavations have been carried out in which unknown elements of the castle have been exposed, such as a previously unknown round tower. In 2015 it was announced that a restaurant, hotel and brewery will be established around the remains of Slot Oostende. The first castle buildings date from the twelfth century by the lords Van Schengen. Later, the castle was taken over by the Van Borssele family. The original name was Torenburg, the name Slot Ostende dates from the sixteenth century, when Jan van Oostende, lord of Ostend, owned the castle.

The Fort of Stabroek may have seen little action during the two world wars, but now Stafort organizes countless adventures. From paintball to disc golf, Stabroek has something for everyone.

The Van Delft family has owned various properties in the Kempenhoek in Berendrecht since at least the 17th century. It is not known whether Jan van Delft (°1592 - † 1662), son of Gerard van Delft and Madeleine Gysbrechts, bought or inherited these properties. It is certain that they came into the hands of his son Gerard van Delft, canon of Kamerijk, through inheritance. Originally, a hunting lodge was built on the country estate. The tower and the southern side wing are attributed to Jan or Gerard van Delft. On the Ferraris map (1771-1778), one volume with a square plan is indicated on the current location of the castle and the associated castle farm, against the Reigersbosdreef, behind which are two L-shaped structures interrupted by outbuildings. After Gerard's brother Jean-Baptist, councillor and extraordinary treasurer of Antwerp, inherited the domain in 1792, he had a northern wing added. Around 1824, the estate belonged to the Brussels-based baron Josephus Gaspar van Delft. In 1846, the properties were transferred to Joseph Gerard van Delft-Lunden, and in 1855 to Carolus Joseph Van Delft. Around 1934, Louis Jozef Marie van Delft had an additional volume built against the southern wing. The domain is surrounded on the side of the Reigersbosdreef by a wall covered with brick friezes and concrete coping stones, and includes a garden with a pond, with the castle wing to the west along the Reigersbosdreef, and the former horse stables to the south. To the east of the stables are a bakehouse and an aviary. The main entrance was reportedly once located on the Sint-Jan Baptiststraat, bordering the former coachman's house, and still has the metal fencing and bluestone bollards. The current entrance is located on the Reigersbosdreef, from which it is separated by bluestone posts.

This "castle" has apparently had many names (or has been known by many names). It is established architectural heritage under the names Kasteel Reigershof and Kasteel Sterrenhof. But it was also called Hof van Delft and Hof Le Grelle. The first name refers to the family that owned it for centuries, van Delft. The second to Daniël Le Grelle, widower of Maisy van Delft, who died a year before the unveiling of the artwork 'Het DNA van de Polder' - https://www.komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/3113896 - and left behind a son. Apparently, in addition to being the custodian of heritage and the Reigersbos, he was an advocate for the preservation of the Bourla-Schouwburg and Vlaaikensgang in Antwerp, "savior" of Berendrecht, Zandvliet and Lillo Fort against port expansion, an idiosyncratic politician and reformer of the BOIC and a member of the Antwerp city council for thirty years, he was also director of the inspection company Vinçotte for a while and, together with his son, headed the committee that advises the king on the appointment of new nobility.
