            Golden Gate Castle

The Golden Gate manor house was built in 1884, commissioned by Clement Mertens.

In 1920, the castle grounds were bought by the managers of the De Beukelaer factories.  That same year, the municipal council of Ekeren bought the castle. 
 
Castle Golden Gate served successively as town hall (1920 - 1930), justice of the peace (1930 - 1970), and police commissariat (1972 - 2014).

Het Gulden Poort kasteeltje werd in 1884 gebouwd in opdracht van Clement Mertens.

In 1920 werd het kasteeldomein aangekocht door de beheerders van de fabrieken De Beukelaer.  Nog datzelfde jaar kocht het gemeentebestuur van Ekeren het kasteeltje over.  

Kasteel Gulden Poort deed achtereenvolgens dienst als gemeentehuis (1920 – 1930), vredegerecht (1930 – 1970), en politiecommissariaat (1972 - 2014).
