The gate also serves as a bridge over the Kalebeek stream. The north facade of the gate (facing the church) features, in addition to the date 1864, the coat of arms of the t'Kint de Roodenbeke family, who acquired the castle that year (and still own it).

The last baroness (also mayor of Poeke, which at the time was still a separate municipality), Ines Pycke de Peteghem, bequeathed the castle in her will to the National Work of Catholic School Colonies (NWKS). After her death in 1955, the castle served for a long time as a holiday camp for young children from (often rather vulnerable) families of workers and small business owners (NWKS later became "Duinen-Heide"). Later, the local playground found a home here. The castle also served as a venue for classical concerts, among other events. I remember an "Interludium" (a short segment produced by the then BRT to fill the gaps between programs) being recorded here. Poetry evenings (under the banner: "The Closer the Better") featuring artists such as Simon Vinkenoog and Ivo Van Strijtem were also held here. And now in 2025 the castle expects the 22nd edition of the East Flanders Biennale of Contemporary Art.

It belonged to various noble owners, including the de Preudhomme d’Hailley family and the Pycke de Peteghem family, until the municipal authorities purchased it in 1977. Since September 1, 2021, Tourism Flanders has owned the castle and its estate. The Poeke castle park is a wooded 56-hectare park featuring a truly magnificent neoclassical castle.

The building is completely surrounded by water and is accessible via a bridge from both the front and the back. It is unknown when the first castle was built on site, but Poeke was already mentioned in 1139. The building did play an important role in the conflict between Louis of Male and the people of Ghent in 1382. In the same year, Eulaard II van Poeke was killed when he led the count's troops at the battle of the Beverhoutsveld against the advance of the Ghent militia. who had tried to stop his castle. The lords of Poeke were loyal vassals of the Count of Flanders. For example, Anastasia van Oultre, second wife of Eulard III of Poeke, remarried Robert of Flanders, bastard son of Louis of Male. In 2021, the municipality of Aalter sold the castle to Tourism Flanders for a symbolic amount.

The castle of Nokere or Casier Castle, named after the owners from the Casier family, dates from before the 16th century and burned down in 1596. It was rebuilt by Mathieu-Xavier de Ghellinck, who had purchased the Nokere estate in 1727. From 1773 to 1783, the two side wings were built and the castle was given its current classicist appearance. Nearby are several service buildings, including a 17th-century gatehouse with the gravestone of Jacob van Gavere and a coach house with an assortment of coaches from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The Gravensteen is a fortified moated castle, located in the East Flemish city of Ghent. It is the only remaining medieval castle in Flanders and has an almost intact defense system. The current castle dates from 1180 and was the residence of the counts of Flanders until 1353. It was later repurposed as a court, prison, coin printing house and even as a cotton factory. It was restored in 1893-1903. It is now a museum and is a major tourist attraction in the city. The castle's gatehouse, rampart wall, keep, count's residence and horse stables are accessible to visitors. Source: Wikipedia
