It initially concerned an allodial property that belonged to the van Zevenbergen family. After about 1450 it became a fief of the Dukes of Brabant. The family van Zevenbergen remained lord until about 1492 after which it passed into the hands of various owners. It was destroyed in 1542 by the troops of Maarten van Rossum and in 1590 by Spanish troops led by Ambrogio Spinola. In 1613, the castle is said to have been restored by order of the then owner Godefroid Houtappel. Renovations were also carried out in the 2nd half of the 17th century and in 1733 the castle was again beautified by order of Ferdinand Vecquemans.

In 1914 the castle was destroyed by fire and demolished in 1968. What remains are the foundations of the old castle and some service buildings, the core of which dates back to the 18th century.

The sisters of the Convent of Bethlehem had a new building constructed in 1989.

The castle domain connects to the Zevenbergenbos, which is part of the Bos van Ranst.
