The castle of Rumbeke is located in the provincial domain Sterrebos (27 ha). In the 18th century, the building was renovated in a classical style, with the Sterrebos being laid out using the Friar of Vienna as a model. According to legend, Boudewijn I fled with the Iron Arm, Count of Flanders, in 862 together with Judith, daughter of Emperor Charles the Bald, to the castle that stood here at the time. After the intervention of the Pope, this led to a marriage and the creation of the County of Flanders. The castle was inhabited for centuries by the counts de Thiennes and de Limburg Stirum. It was damaged by the Beggars and ravaged during the Wars of Louis XIV, the French Revolution and the First and Second World Wars. On the square in front of the castle is an impressive plane tree, which probably dates from the 18th century. Thanks to the well-thought-out layout of the castle environment and of the park forest, the Sterrebos offers sufficient variety, both in terms of landscape and of course, to continue to fascinate.
