Associated public castle park between Kerkstraat (east) and Gentstraat (north) of 4 to 4.5 hectares, was laid out around 1820-1830 in a landscape style. Park with walking paths, ornamental lawns, pond, varied trees including a number of valuable 150 to 200 year old specimens (including weeping beech, brown beech, oaks, maples, horse chestnuts).

Access to the castle park with the actual main entrance located on Kerkstraat between two terraced houses; closed by iron fencing on four iron bundle pillars, crowned in typical fashion with spearheads and upright laurel wreath. On Gentstraat, the castle park on the street side is partly closed off by a brick garden wall. The part with younger masonry (presumably from the interwar period) adjacent to the side entrance in the northwest corner with an entrance gate on robust masonry gate pillars with crowning. Two 19th-century outbuildings, older than the current castle, are located on Gentstraat, both on one side adjoining another part of the castle garden wall.

Here was a domain that was owned by the De Neve de Roden family, and where Pieter de Neve had a moated mansion built in 1607-1608, known as the Huys int midden van't Durp and later known as 't Hof van Blauwendael. was standing. In 1820, by order of Henri Philips de Neve, changes were made to the surrounding park, including the construction of an orangery.

From 1889-1890 a new castle was built by order of Emile de Neve de Roden and Emma de Bueren to a design by Jozef De Waele. Later the castle was sold to Henri de Lovinfosse, who owned the Manta factories. In 1980 the castle was bought by the municipality, which opened the park to the public in 1981. In 1984 the castle was used as a wedding hall, exhibition and association space.
