Laarne Castle has dominated the village center of Laarne for centuries. The first traces of a wooden construction date back to the thirteenth century. The first stone building was built around 1300. In the course of the seventeenth century, the castle acquired its current appearance and the courtyard was also constructed. In the course of the nineteenth century, the castle lost its function as a summer residence and remained uninhabited for a long time. Gradually fell into ruins. It was not until after the Second World War that the castle was restored in several phases. The castle is owned by the Association of Historical Residential Cities of Belgium. There is a special silver collection within the walls. The castle of Laarne can be visited. From the end of June this is possible with a movie guide in which pastor Schatteman tries to come to terms with his conscience as a result of the local witch persecutions.
