現在のホーイラールトの基礎には、一方ではIJse川の南にあるTer Heyde領主権、もう一方ではIJse川の北にあるHolaerまたはHoeilaart領主権という、2つの重要な領主権がありました。 ここにはかつて15世紀のTer Heyde領主権の城が建っていました。この領主権は、アンシャン・レジームの廃止後に消滅しました。 現在の城は、1858年にバロン・ジャン・ド・マン・ダッテンロード（1854年から1878年までホーイラールト市長）とその妻マリア・カロリーナ・ドルメッソンによって建てられました。 したがって、古い領主権の遺物ではありません。しかし、隣接する礼拝堂とかつての閉鎖された農家はそうです。 この建物は、他の人も言及しているように、現在では異なる機能を与えられ、公園の景観を支配しています。 不動産遺産目録：ホーイラールト城、https://id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/39785

Once a sturdy motte castle from the 11th century, Het Steen grew into a beautiful Renaissance castle that played a key role in the defense of Brabant against the Mechelaars for centuries. The castle is picturesquely situated in a meander of the Barebeek, surrounded by old moats and close to the Zenne, and breathes history - from knightly battles to Spanish garrisons. The most famous resident was Peter Paul Rubens, who spent his last summers here, painted, partied with artist friends such as Van Dyck and Teniers, and immortalized the surrounding nature on canvas.

Het Steen and appurtenances (Steendreef 77): protected monument (28/10/1948) in Flemish Renaissance style. Only the facades and roofs of the main building and outbuildings, with the exception of the stables and sheds from the first half of the 19th century, are protected. On the left in front of 't Steen, popularly known as 'Het Rubenskasteel', our attention goes to the second frame. Here we are looking in the direction of Perk where Rubens' friend David Teniers lived. Is that how Rubens saw it in his time? The castle grew out of a motte, a heavy stone residential tower on a hill, surrounded by water. The oldest known owner of the first castle was probably Rudolf van Wilre, who had the Steenvaart or the connection between the Barebeek and the Zenne dug in 1259. Later this was filled in and is now the toevaartdreef. In a deed from 1304 there was mention of a castle in white stone. It was a feudal castle, with towers and moats, like most castles from that time, comparable to the Steen in Antwerp or the Kantersteen in Brussels. As an advanced defense position it played its role for centuries in the wars between the people of Mechelen and Brussels.

This castle has been a ruin since the end of WWII. Work is now being done to prevent it from collapsing further.

The restoration of the castle ruins has started.
