You will find some interesting buildings and beautiful natural areas with grasslands, ponds, woods, and boardwalks here and there. And I haven't even mentioned some impressive trees and the interesting history of the garden.

The current castle, although dating from the mid-1840s, underwent drastic changes after a severe fire in 1877.
After a fire (1568) had destroyed the donjon or medieval residential tower in the village center, the family of Montenaken, heirs of the knights of Meldert, built a square farmstead, further south and higher up, the old castle.
Due to a series of inheritances, the building eventually came into the ownership of Louise van der Noot at the beginning of the 19th century.
