1863년, Coninck de Merckem 남작이 Blankaart 부동산을 인수했습니다. 그곳에 성이 세워지고 영국식 성 공원이 조성되었습니다. Coninck de Merckem 남작은 1895년에 사망했고, 그의 아내가 성을 포함한 모든 재산을 상속받았습니다. 제1차 세계 대전 중에 성은 너무 심하게 파괴되어 정면만 남았습니다. 1922년에 더 작은 규모로 재건되었습니다. 성 공원은 원래 상태로 복원되지 않았습니다. 제2차 세계 대전 중에 성의 지붕이 파괴되었습니다. 두 개의 둥근 탑의 원뿔형 성벽은 복원되지 않았습니다. 남편이 사망한 후, 소유주는 성을 재건하고 1959년에 그녀의 아들들의 주도로 설립된 'Volkshogeschool de Blankaart'에 제공했습니다. 이 부동산은 1978년에 자연 보호 구역으로 선포되었습니다.

The Cloth Hall in Ypres is one of the largest Gothic-style civil buildings in Europe. Built between 1230 and 1304, it served as a covered market place for cloth, an important trade product in the Middle Ages. The 70-metre high belfry, which was built from 1250 onwards, emphasises the power and wealth of the city of Ypres at that time. During the First World War, the Cloth Hall was completely destroyed, but it was later meticulously rebuilt and completed in 1967. Today it houses the In Flanders Fields Museum and the Ypres Museum.

There are a total of four lookout towers in the Blankaart. This one here is the highest: 10m. It overlooks the reed marshes and the wet hay fields. The inspiration for the design of the viewpoints comes from the reed marshes. Just as the bittern blends with its tall figure into the reeds, the towers blend into the open space of the Blankaart, while at the same time they are beacons in the landscape. The rising walls with sloping elements, openings and green plexiglass refer to the reed collars in which birds can hide and which still have a certain transparency.

The Blankaart is freely accessible from sunrise to sunset. The visitor centre (currently still in the castle, but will 'soon' move to a new building closer to the car park) is open at least every week from Wednesday to Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The castle's coach house has been the workshop or studio for Natuurpunt volunteers who are involved in nature management on the Blankaart for years. Natuurpunt was able to purchase that site in 2011. Natuurpunt volunteers provide permanent staff in the visitors' centre in the castle. They provide reception, provide information to visitors and run a small cafeteria. This year, work will start on a new studio and a new reception in the visitors' domain. Because it also became apparent that restoring the studio was not feasible, we decided with Natuurpunt to demolish the studio and build something new there with a dual function: studio and reception. After all, the accessibility of the current visitors' centre is literally insufficiently accessible: you have to overcome quite a few (fairly high) stairs. The new building in a wooden frame is very close to the car park, will only be on the ground floor and visitors will be guided from the car park past the reception.
