Beveren purchased the estate in 1982. It boasts the striking 18th-century neoclassical castle, but the farm, ice cellars, and orangery are also worth a visit. During the Middle Ages, the estate was called "Shaecx" after the oldest residents of the fiefdom, the Noethaeckx family. This is how the place got its name. It was Jean-Baptist Versmessen, chief alderman of the Land van Waas castellany, who laid out the estate in its current form in 1781. The English landscape garden appears in 19th-century illustrations. It remained in the Versmessen family until textile manufacturer Edmond Meert purchased the property. The castle was severely damaged during WWII, leaving only a ruin. Restoration took place between 2004 and 2007, and it is now hoped to restore the interior to its former grandeur.

The Ouden Doel Radar Tower is an eight-meter-high observation deck. The tower is freely accessible. On a clear day, the top offers a beautiful view of shipping traffic and the submerged land of Saeftinghe. This is a unique area where the tides have been freed up again (after the land reclamation), creating a unique landscape of mudflats and salt marshes.

A place where history buffs might pause for a moment when passing this bridge and the Melkader. Remember that terrible things happened here during the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648). Historical facts: On June 21, 1638, during the Eighty Years' War, a decisive battle took place in this area on the Melkader between the Spanish and Dutch armies. This resulted in a major defeat for the Dutch armies. In great disarray, pursued by the Spanish armies (over 10,000 men), the Dutch armies retreated to Fort Liefkenshoek, a little further away. At least 3,000 Dutch soldiers were killed at this historic location, and hundreds were driven into the Melkader and drowned. Many soldiers were also taken prisoner. Only about 1,500 men reached the fort, and they were quickly recalled to Bergen op Zoom. Losses were high on both sides, and Maurice Frederik of Nassau-Siegen, the 17-year-old and only son of William of Nassau-Siegen, was killed here in Kallo. The southern Spanish army captured 3 standards, 50 banners, 26 guns, and 48 vessels. The defeat of the Dutch army at Kallo meant that the people of Antwerp remained under Spanish rule. The Battle of Kallo marked the failure of another attempt to annex Antwerp to the Republic. Intrigued? Read the full account at https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag_bij_Kallo
