Around 1300, a fortified brick residential tower was built in Oostkerke. At the end of the 14th century there was a “Nederhof” and an “Opperhof”, both surrounded by moats. Baron van der Elst had a dilapidated castle renovated in 1938. The ramparts were re-excavated, the stone access bridge restored and the west wing converted into an elegant building in Renaissance style. The former foundations of the ring wall and keeps were also raised and serve as a decoration and walkway in the garden, laid out by the Dutch landscape architect Mien Ruys, which can sometimes be visited during the open garden days in June.

Very nice lane with pollard willows that runs past the castle of Oostkerke
