Formerly called "Chalet Schabaillie" after its builder and former resident, brickmaker A. Schabaillie. This mansion features a tower that gives the entire building the appearance of a small castle. The building stands in the middle of a partially wooded garden with an L-shaped carriage and stable wing to the north, the facade of which overlooks the street. A garden pavilion leans against the garden wall to the northeast. On the street side, a low garden wall with a gate between pedestals is located to the right of the paved driveway. The entire property was later subdivided: the former carriage and stable wing now serves as a warehouse, while a section of the garden on the street side was subdivided and includes low-rise new buildings. The eclectic architectural style is characterized by, among other things, the decorative use of yellow and yellow-painted bricks and references similar local "castles" from the same period. Mansion on a rectangular plan. A two-bay double house with a central tower and entrance projection of one bay, a wide bay ending in a gabled dormer window, and two stories under a flattened hipped roof with an iron ridge crest, decorated with lilies, small dormers, and tall chimneys. A 1900 date stone is incorporated into the gable. The red brick construction uses yellow bricks for horizontal facade bands, cornerstones, aligning paneling, and stretcher lintels of the Tudor and round-arched wall openings. A wooden loggia is located on the right side of the main floor. The three-bay tower is under a truncated pyramidal roof with a lantern beneath a slate spire. The other facades have similar facing. On the left side of the rear facade is a partially adjoining low extension (kitchen) under a hipped roof (ridge perpendicular to the house, tiled), in a similar style; a conservatory is attached to the garden facade. L-shaped carriage and stable wing of one and a half stories under a saddle roof with mechanical tiles. The striking corner tower with a slate spire is crowned with iron ornamentation, referencing the mansion's ridge crest. The inscription 'Anno 1914' is incorporated into the cemented casement of the dormer window. Analogous brick architecture; additional decorative motifs in yellow brick, including St. Andrew's crosses. The street facade is a variation on the traditional chapel facade: the stepped gable with a Bruges bay, and the central arched carriage entrance above which is a round-arched window crowned with a cross of yellow brick. The garden pavilion against the northeast garden wall is a variation on the medieval dovecote type. This low, octagonal building is under a slightly constricted spire (slate) with wooden dormers. The building style is similar.

This castle was the seat of the lordship of Flêtre. The Van Vleteren family ruled here, succeeded in 1364 by the Van Houtte family. Between 1364 and 1380, Jan van Houtte had a fortified castle built. It was equipped with a wooden gallery between the castle and the freestanding tower, from which the soldiers could hurl projectiles at the besiegers. Later, as military technology advanced, these were replaced by machicolations. In 1532, the lordship passed through marriage to the Wignacourt family. In 1656, Flêtre, under Jacob van Wignacourt, was elevated to a county. The last Count of Flêtre, Balthasar-Philippe de Wignacourt, died in poverty in 1810. During the French Revolution, the castle was expropriated and largely demolished to reuse the building materials. However, the keep was so massive that demolition was decided against. In the early 19th century, the estate was purchased by an industrialist, who built a house on the site of the demolished castle and converted the keep into a reception hall, with Louis XV-style wall paneling. Later, the estate was purchased by Edmond Vanuxem, a brewer in Ardres. He commissioned the construction of the current brick castle, completed in 1872. After the First World War, the moats were filled in. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasteel_van_Wignacourt
