The round brick pigeon tower may date back to the early 16th century. The tower has a cone-shaped spire and is adjacent to the catering business and stables. It still contains about 680 nest cavities and has been a protected monument since 1981. Stairs were built against this pigeon tower in the 19th century. In this way, the top floor of the tower was made accessible. This part of the old construction was then used as a water reservoir. This Pigeon Tower is the only surviving example in the Waasland.
