Bueren Castle is a 16th-century moated castle in Melle-Kwatrecht. The castle domain is 10 hectares and is located in two municipalities. The castle is named after Christophe-Bernard de Bueren, a scion of the Belgian noble family de Bueren. In a lease from 1408 the castle is mentioned as Goed Ter Elst. In 1571 it is described as een aut casteel, while Antoon Sanders depicts it as tHuys van den advot vender Burght on Quaadregt in 't land van Aalst. The castle is surrounded by moats. According to Antoon Sanders, access was gained via a gate facade with an arch bridge to the courtyard with orchard in front of the castle. In front of the bridge over the inner wall stood a tower, probably with a dovecote. A drawbridge closed off the entrance to the castle. The octagonal stair tower has also disappeared.
