From the avenue leading to the castle, the white-painted Jongenbos Castle immediately catches the eye. The history of the domain can be traced back to 1380. On the Ferraris maps, at the end of the 18th century, a farm was drawn near the site of the current castle. This was located in the west of an extensive forest area, called Spissen Bosch. Later, the name Jongen Bosch Veld also came into use. The castle, more of a large mansion, in neoclassical style, was only drawn on the cadastral maps in 1848 and was probably built shortly before that. The architect of the castle is unknown. The then owner was Willem Joseph Gerard Van der Meer, a rentier from Tongeren. The castle came through inheritance and marriage to various families: Claes, De Favereau de Fraipont, De Cartier d’Yves. The descendants of the latter family lived here after which the castle was put up for sale (2014). In 2015 it became the property of the infamous Appeltans family.
