The Castle of the Counts replaces a first castle built on the “Mont-à-Leux” hill, owned by Rogier de Ramées around 1300, which was destroyed by a Breton duke named John III between 1315 and 1340 during the general wars.

The lords of Mouscron, elevated to county in 1627, hardly inhabit it anymore, with the exception of the last de la Barre (1332-1592) who fortified it and the Liedekerke (1592-1645) who refurbished it in the state described by Sanderus in 1641. recorded; for the Bastas (1645-1682) and the d'Ennetières (1682-1795-1875) it never meant more than a foot ashore until the end of the “ancien régime”, by furnishing part of the interior in Louis XV style and by providing cross bars on the windows of the Louis XVI.
