The first identified owner of the castle, in 1408, was Jan de Valuwe, but the interior fittings and furnishings inside it today date from 1875 owner, Arthur Merghelynck who undertook an extensive restoration (topped off with a new garden in a Franco-English style).
At certain times the castle can now be visited with the support of an "audio-guide".
