The current building is said to have been built on the foundations of a building from the 13th to the 15th century. Mention of this site as "Goet ten Walle" in 1370, a name that remained in effect until the early 17th century.
In 1906, Oscar Hostyn bought the "Ravenhof" and the former factory buildings, where his shoe factory was located. In 1912-1913 current interior design. During the First World War the 'castle' served as a residence for German soldiers. The building was damaged during the German retreat, and major restoration work followed in 1919-1920. Later the domain and the company came into the hands of the Couppé family. After 1960 the domain deteriorated. The City of Torhout bought the domain in 1989.
Renovation of the building in 1993-1994, after which the ground floor was furnished as a tourist information desk, the upper floor as a museum "Torhouts Aardewerk". Also furnishing of the "Guild Chamber of the Guild of Saint Sebastian".
