The castle dates back to the 12th century and has been rebuilt several times. In the time of Mary of Hungary, governor of the Netherlands, it was a court of pleasure. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle fell into disrepair. The province bought the building from the municipality around the beginning of the 20th century and after the First World War under the supervision of provincial architect Jules Taeymans proceeded to a thorough restoration. Today, the court is housed there.
