In the chapel of this castle there is since 1804 a beautiful
mausoleum of the Prins-Bishop Charles-Nicolas d'Oultremont, made by
sculptor Guillaume Evrard. (Thanks to Freddy Van Daele)
After Marc Sottiaux: This castle is fascinating for its history: the current
construction is nothing but a pale remainder of a house of the Knights of Temples. The
construction goes back to the middle of the 13th century, but it was damaged and changed
many times. It is also the place where the d'Oultremont family came from. The played an
important role in the local history.
