Kerstmagie at Wijnendale Castle (Torhout)

Wijnendale Castle in Torhout is bound up with the history of the Counts of Flanders and the Belgian royal family, and is the only West Flanders venue of Kerstmagie 2026. The story 'Kerstmagie en het Verboden Huwelijk' was written for this castle and is performed in Dutch, with actors leading small groups from room to room. Music, light effects and audience participation fill the roughly one-hour tour, which ends with a photo with Santa. A group leaves every half hour. Tip: twenty minutes from the coast, it makes a good plan for a rainy winter afternoon at the seaside; no prams because of the stairs.
