Nothing suggests that this place is one of the oldest known historical sites of Aalter. Schuurlo was already mentioned in 1375. In 1778 he had a house built there from which the ponds were cultivated. In 1793 the homestead called 'den Scheurlo' was about 67 hectares in size. In 1811 the ponds were drained and there were 58 hectares of forest and 14 hectares of land. The castle was occupied by the Germans during the First World War and suffered a lot of damage as a result.
