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.

After the castle on the Borgtberg burned down during the Grimbergen War (1141-1159), the Lords of Grimbergen built a new residence at the place called "Boksem", about 600 m south of the village centre and the Norbertine abbey. This probably did not happen until the end of the 13th or in the 14th century, as no deeds were signed at the castle in Grimbergen in the 13th century. This castle was also demolished down to its foundations after a siege in 1488 by Maximilian of Austria and in 1489 by Duke Albert of Saxony. Reconstruction began at the end of the 15th century, possibly on the old foundations. The map book of the abbey (1699) and the copper engraving by Sanderus (1727) show a walled castle on the north side preceded by a walled farmyard. (Inventory of Immovable Heritage)

Laeken Castle, built in 1782, is surrounded by a large 120 ha park. The residence then bore the name of Schonenberg. Under Napoleon, Schonenberg became a military headquarters, and even a prison. Rebuilt several times, the castle then passed, after the revolts against William I, into the hands of the Belgian State, which made it the residence of Leopold I. All our kings, except Albert II, had their residence there.

The Royal Palace of Brussels, which is a 7 km drive from the castle, is the official seat of the court and is used as a working palace. The castle is state property, but a large part of the park and the greenhouses belong to the Royal Donation.

The painter Pieter Paul Rubens bought this Renaissance castle in 1635. He spent the last 5 summers of his life there with Helena Fourmet, his 38th younger second wife. He painted some important works there and gave great parties in the company of other famous figures, such as Van Dyck, Jordaens, Teniers, and many noblemen. The castle was already mentioned in the 13th century. The implantation of this moated domain in a meander of the Baerbeek, near the Senne and halfway between Brussels and Mechelen, would indicate a very old site, part of the defense line of Brabant. The name 'Stone' would refer to a square 'stone' tower mentioned until the early 18th century. source: hiking guide Flanders route GR 128
