Between 1894 and 1896, Jules Aimée Constant Van Ackere had his mansion replaced by a castle in an eclectic architectural style. The Kortrijk architect Cyriel Vanhoutte was inspired by various neo-styles for this building. The castle and park were closed off from the public road by a cast-iron fence with two gates. With the reconstruction of the Kortrijk-Menen road in 1960, the fence in front of the castle disappeared.
During the First and Second World Wars, the house was requisitioned by the German occupiers to function as an "Ortskommandantur". Purchased in its entirety by the municipality in 1953.
To this day, it serves as a town hall.
