Sterrebeek Castle was a moated castle in Lokeren, of which have survived only a few remains incorporated in a 19th-century building. The castle once belonged to the de Cortewille family, and was situated between the Oude Vismijn and Lokeren's Markt.

In the 19th century, what remained of the castle was integrated into a building housing a glass warehouse. Traces of the former castle can be seen in the said building's eastern facade, in the remaining arched door (korfboogdeur) and sandstone corner stone. The remains of the castle can be accessed through a small alley.

The building in which the remains were integrated is a broad, brick three-story structure, with round arched windows and saddle roof.
