The castle was owned by the Crupet family until 1510, followed by the Carondelet family. The name and crest of the family is present in various places in the castle. In 1667, the castle was passed to the Mérode family (through marriage) where it remained until the French Revolution.[1]
In 1925, the castle was restored by the architect Blomme and was owned by the Limbosch family until 2008.[2]
