The history of this courtyard goes back further than that of the castle that belongs to it. The "Neerhof van Elene", a fairly large moated castle with a drawbridge, already existed here in the 11th century. In the 11th or 12th century, the farm fell into the hands of the lords of Zottegem, who also owned the manor of Leeuwergem. Since then, the Neerhof, which served as the seat of the domanial and seigneurial rights over Elene and Leeuwergem, was called the 'court of Leeuwergem'. When a castle was first built near this Neerhof in 1425, it was given the name 'Leeuwergem Castle', a name that has been retained to this day.

The "de Gerlache" after which the castle - officially called "Den Ast" - is often called is Gaston de Gerlache, mayor of Mullem for 3 legislatures, but above all an explorer. In 1957-1958 he led the second Belgian expedition to Antarctica, 60 years after his father led the first with the Belgica. During this second expedition, in which the Polarhav and the Polarsirkel took them to Antarctica, the King Baudouin base was established there. During the next expedition, led by Guido Derom, a 2,400 meter high mountain in Antarctica was named after Gaston de Gerlache. Another fact about the castle: an emperor penguin, Hans, brought along from the expedition, who was housed in the Antwerp Zoo, was given a place in the castle after his death.
