Sometime in the 11th century, a wooden structure was replaced by a stone predecessor of the gravestone. The construction work on the current Castle of the Counts began in 1180 under the impulse of Count Philip of Alsace. His successors, the counts of Flanders, stayed here regularly until the middle of the 15th century.
