Originally, this was the seat of the Guermignies estate, which was successively owned by the Croÿ, Marnix, Croix, and Beauffort families. It was first mentioned as a manor house in 1388. It was rebuilt in 1624 by Jean de Marnix. The main house, gatehouse, and an outbuilding date from that year.

Hiking

The Lordship of Guermignies (one of the streets in Pottes still bears that name), of which the castle was once the seat, produced figures who played an important role in the history of our region. For instance, the House of Croÿ was of great importance in the unification of the Netherlands.

The current appearance of the building is that of a large farmhouse rather than a castle.
