The estate originated in the late 18th century. The wealthy notary AS began construction in 1780, originally consisting of a classicist main building, symmetrically flanked at the front by two lower 19th-century side wings and several outbuildings, including a beautiful orangery.

After the notary's death, the estate passed into the hands of his only son, who significantly enhanced its value by creating an English landscape garden. The surrounding park includes a pond with an island and a historic duck decoy, beautiful old woods, and a former icehouse. When in turn the son passed away, the chateau remained vacant for a while. In 1831, the chateau briefly served as a command post for Leopold I, the first king of Belgium.
