The castle was built in 1891 in Maasland Neo-Renaissance style. It took until 1898 before the castle was finished. In addition to a right wing, there was also a neo-Byzantine chapel and a French garden. In 1916 the count died and the domain came into the hands of brokers. After the liberation, in 1918, the domain was confiscated and it was not until 1928 that it was sold to S.V. Middenkredietkas (Boerenbond). Now a large farm was established, including a large poultry farm for that time, pigs, cows and asparagus cultivation. The soil was poor, which was reason enough to experiment with fertilizers, but the farm remained loss-making. Forestry for mining wood for the mines also offered no solace, because metal struts were increasingly used for this purpose. In 1937, the Middenkredietkas sold the entire domain to the province, creating the basis for the Bokrijk Provincial Domain.
