It is not easy to get a good view of Neigem castle because of the wall, the closed gate, the hedges and the trees.

It is around the castle of Neigem, already mentioned as "castrum" in a 12th century charter, that the village of Neigem has grown. At the beginning of the 13th century, the lords of Wedergraete left the castle of Contrecoeur in Appelterre and settled at the castle of Neigem. At the time, the mighty castle with a quadrangular keep, surrounded by moats and ramparts and secured by strong fences and drawbridges, rose on a "motte". It was used several times over the years as a garrison for foreign army bands or as a shelter for the inhabitants of the surrounding countryside. It was extensively renovated in the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1901 it was greatly destroyed by a great fire. In 1949 the castle was rebuilt and lowered by one floor, in the 1990s the entire building was restored as much as possible to its original state with the necessary historical sense. The whole is a neotraditional castle with entrance gate and station square with round corner towers on sandstone substructure with foundations and cellars in Spanish brick. On the domain, along the Halsesteenweg, you will also find a porter's house and a coach house.
