This impressive chateau, with its adjacent U-shaped farmhouse, was built by a baron, a member of a noble family from the Southern Netherlands, who also lived here for a long time. The chateau remained in the family's possession for over 140 years. From the early 19th century onward, the estate changed hands several times, either through sale or marriage. In the late 1980s, it was purchased by a wealthy Flemish businessman, who completely renovated the buildings over the following years.
The farm dates from the early 17th century. The chateau, or at least the main western wing, was built around 1670. Over the course of its history, it has undergone a number of renovations and extensions, mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries. The chateau now consists of two perpendicular wings of unequal size. The original west wing, built of sandstone, brick and bluestone, features a massive three-storey tower beneath a truncated pavilion reminiscent of a dungeon, and a rectangular two-storey building beneath a high saddleback. The 1,500 m² of living space includes 2 living rooms, 2 dining rooms, a library, 12 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The Louis XV living room in the tower contains a reused chimney cowl from 1726.
The estate covers 70 hectares and includes the farm, woodland, pastures, and cropland. The entire complex was classified as a monument and a site in 1985.
