Te Lake Castle

Walking along the old Leie meander you can see the castle (Te Lake and not 'Te Meer',... the absurd result of an automatic translation, reported to Komoot, but apparently difficult to correct) from afar, albeit through the trees. The castle was built in 1748 on the old site with moat of the lordship "Te Lake" whose history goes back to the 13th century.
The lordship, named after the Van Lake family, was a fief of the fiefdom "de Stenen Man" of Oudenaarde. At the end of the 15th and in the 16th century in the possession of the family van Gavere, also called van Liedekerke and from 1592 of the Basta family.
Baron de Beer sells the lordship in 1715 to J.S. Limnander, lord of the lordship "ter Werft" in Zulte. His son will have the old castle demolished and a new, more comfortable castle built with stables, a gardener's house and gardens.
The straight lane leading to the castle is still named after the Limnander family. Until the construction of the Leie Canal (1972), it connected the castle to the village centre.

In the 20th century, the castle was successively owned by the Oblate Fathers (1910-1920), who set up a dairy there, by the Versele family (of the Anglo-Belge brewery), who rented it to J. De Clerck, for, among other things, a horse breeding farm and the refurbishment of the "Leiedal" dairy. In 1989-90, the castle was completely restored.
Nowadays, the castle serves as a banquet hall for wedding parties, with room for 200 to 500 people.

Komoot has translated this highlight incorrectly. The castle is called 'Kasteel Te Lake'. Is now a restaurant.
