The moated castle was built by order of the Counts of Flanders. Executions and prison sentences were carried out here. Mercator was also imprisoned here on charges of heresy.
The castle then served as a military fortress until 1748. However, the castle was badly ravaged and never restored. It was not until 1817 that the rubble was cleared. Castle ruins can only be visited by appointment.
