The castle has a history dating back to the 13th century.
Charles the Bold and his troops destroyed this gem after their victory at the Battle of Brustem in 1467.
The castle was rebuilt in 1500. It was again confronted with a German occupation in 1681, and subsequently fell into complete disrepair.
The government seized it in 2007 and renovation works have been underway since then.

The oldest mention of a castle on this site - although there must have been a castle long before - is from 1599, when Jan van Berlo, who had come into possession of the seigneury through marriage to Jeanne de Merode, drew up his will. Jeanne was Florent d'Argenteau's aunt, who inherited the lordship in 1599. The current castle is younger. It has a core dating from 1669. Also dating from 1669 is a plaque with the coats of arms of Jean François d'Argenteau and his wife, Agnes Ernestine Derivir. The current castle was built in 1747. At that time the castle was already owned by the De Mercy-Argenteau family. A plaque with a coat of arms was also placed for this family.
