The seigniory of Gussignies was owned in the 15th century by the House of Haynin10 and in the 16th century by the family of Cordes.
The feudal castle of Gussignies has disappeared; the current castle dates from the end of the 18th century, when the Count of Fourmestraulx had a hunting lodge built consisting of a corridor leading to boudoirs (oral tradition), the origin of the current castle.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Anthime-Hyacinthe de Fourmestraulx established a marble sawmill at the bottom of the castle, along the Hogneau, and operated a quarry.
Built on the initiative of the Count of Fourmestraux, this castle dates from the end of the 18th century. It is preceded by an alley and a courtyard. The entire castle is built in brick.
