The castle was built on the ruins of a seventh-century monastery.
In 740, the monastery was reportedly inhabited by English monks, who gave it their name: Anglo Monaterum, Engelmunster, or Ingelmunster, meaning "Monastery of the Angels."
In 855, the monastery fell prey to the Normans, the feared rulers of the sea. They plundered and burned the monastery.
Little more than a ruin remained of the "Monastery of the Angels."

Extensive work has been carried out for this purpose over the past quarter century.
Mr. Marc Van Honsebrouck, who died last year at the age of 89, had lived in the castle with his family since 1986, and had already commissioned renovations around the turn of the century. But disaster struck shortly afterward. On September 20, 2001, at 1:45 a.m., a fire broke out.
