A castle dating from the 13th century is now used as the town hall of Hove. The castle park is open to the public.
Interesting fact: During the 15th century, the castle was owned by Pieter Pot, a wealthy businessman from Dordrecht. Pieter Pot was the founder of the abbey of the same name in Antwerp. The Grote and Kleine Pieter Potstraat in old Antwerp is also named after this financier/founder of the Saint Salvator Abbey.

Het kasteel Weyninckhoven werd al vermeld in een charter van Sint-Rombouts van 1265 en in 1270 was het goed in handen van ridder Goswin Bok, een grootgrondbezitter die een vooraanstaande rol speelde aan het hof van de hertogen van Brabant. Het was toen een ‘castrum’ of versterkte plaats (fort, kamp). Vermoedelijk verkocht hij het goed in 1270 aan de Duitse orde van Pitzemburg, een geestelijke instelling die oorspronkelijk de ridders verzorgde die naar het Heilig Land trokken bij de kruistochten.

The T-shaped classicist castle Weyninckhoven is located in a wooded park within a wide moat. The estate provided shelter for noble families for centuries. The castle grounds also contain a gardener's house and a coach house. A plane tree drive leads to the domain.
