The Kasteel van Loppem in Loppem, part of Zedelgem near Bruges, rents out its Feestzaal for seminars, lectures, trade fairs, exhibitions and weddings. The hall seats 250 to 300 guests and holds up to 450 at a standing reception. It is a former riding hall on the castle estate, and organisers choose their own caterer.
Seminars and company events
The Feestzaal covers 300 m² and is open to companies as well as private clients. The venue lists seminars, lectures, trade fairs and exhibitions among the uses, so it works for a company day with a plenary session, a stand area and a lunch under one roof. Seated, the hall takes 250 to 300 people. For a standing reception or a trade-fair layout, the limit is 450 guests. The vaulted cellars of the castle are available for smaller events, which makes them an option for a workshop or a dinner for a restricted group. Their capacity is not published, so ask for it when you inquire.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are among the events the hall is rented for, along with birthday parties, communions and baby showers. A large kitchen area is part of the hall, so the caterer of your choice can prepare the meal on site. Parking is available next to the hall, which keeps arrivals simple for a large guest list.
Rooms and capacities
The Feestzaal is the main space: 300 m², 250 to 300 seated, 450 standing. The vaulted cellars serve smaller groups. The venue does not describe separate breakout rooms, so a program with several parallel sessions would need to be planned inside the hall or with the cellars.
Catering
The venue does not run a restaurant for these events. You may bring any caterer, and the large kitchen is there for them to use. Ask the team what equipment and storage the kitchen provides before you brief the caterer.
History and setting
The castle of Loppem was built from 1858 and is a Gothic Revival work by the architect Jean-Baptiste Bethune. The Feestzaal is a former riding hall (manège) on the estate, so the event takes place in the grounds of a historic castle, not in a generic hall. The address is Steenbrugsestraat 26, 8210 Zedelgem-Loppem.
Getting there
Loppem lies a few kilometers from Bruges in West Flanders. Parking is available beside the hall. The team can be reached by phone at +32 50 82 22 45 or by email at info@kasteelvanloppem.be for dates and rental terms. No bedrooms are offered on site, so out-of-town guests stay in nearby Bruges.
