    The Bailiff House in Gaasbeek in the Belgian province of Flemish Brabant was built by Thomas Spruyt, lord of Zandvliet and bailiff of the Land of Gaasbeek, between 1602 and 1606. The bailiff was the highest official in the Land of Gaasbeek. He was responsible, among other things, for the implementation of law and the correct collection of taxes.
    After its partial destruction by Villeroy's French troops, it was rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century. It was originally built as a moated castle, but after its purchase in 1870 by the Marquis d'Arconati, the ring moats were filled in with the excavated motte from the immediate area. The bailiff's house was protected on March 8, 1946.
    Businessman Piet Van Waeyenberge lives in the Bailiff House and renovated the nearby old Melkerij into a library and cultural space. On his domain, at the foot of Gaasbeek Castle, he has a stud farm of Brabant draft horses.
