This Father's Day, we celebrate the man behind Kasteel van Ordingen.
When Richard Sleurs acquired the castle in 1997, he embarked on what was originally planned as a five-year restoration. It became a journey of 21 years, driven by perseverance, vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Today, at 80 years old, he still personally tends to the castle grounds, often seen mowing the lawns himself. Together with a close group of friends, he is always ready to lend a hand, help the team, or tackle the next project around the estate. His dedication, craftsmanship and presence continue to shape the warm, familial character that defines Kasteel van Ordingen today.
A reminder that true care for a place lies in the details, and in the people who dedicate themselves to it.
Happy Father's Day.
