BEFORE THE BELGIAN design impresario Axel Vervoordt could face down the matter of his succession, one question kept nagging at him: Who would come live in the castle? A short drive from Antwerp, the early-12th-century fortress has been Vervoordt’s home since 1984, when he and his wife, May, bought it from 42 descendants of a family that had owned it since 1728. As it evolved from a proving ground for his esoteric tastes into a hub for experimentation, Kasteel van ’s-Gravenwezel became an essential part of his global enterprise—a kind of turreted display case for the ancient objects and modern art that Vervoordt sells to private clients around the world.
