As early as the 13th or 14th century, there was probably already a small castle on this site and in 1569 there was also talk of a moated playhouse. In 1716 the castle was described as a kind of residential tower with a farm. In the second half of the 18th century, the park was created, which nowadays lies mainly on Dutch territory and is called Moretusbos there. In 1810 the castle was rebuilt in neo-Louis XV style. This is the middle section of the current castle. Around this time the name Ravenhof appeared for the first time. From 1911-1920, the then owner Charles Moretus Plantin had two side wings built. Some time after the expansion, the castle came into the possession of the Assumptionist Fathers and was given the name Assumptionhof. In 1979 the castle came to the municipality of Stabroek.

The Ravenhof, a 'Court of Plaisance' with a look of yesteryear, was once the summer residence of the famous Antwerp printer family – Plantin Moretus - 16th century.

The Ravenhof is an old park forest, which was laid out in the late Baroque style. With straight lines, geometric shapes, avenues and vistas, the forest is reminiscent of the gardens of Versailles. The old castle garden with fruit wall and garden house is a nice surprise during your walk through this historic forest. If you want to walk further, you can also cross the border to the Moretusbos. There is a paved path for wheelchairs and prams
