The estate dates to the early 18th century when Doctor François Thomas Le Paige established himself in Herentals. The building remained under the family's care through successive generations for many decades.
The interior rooms feature handcrafted details like fireplaces, friezes, and ornate plasterwork that blend different artistic styles from the period. You can notice these varied influences as you walk through the spaces.

The trees surrounding the castle were grown from seeds brought by missionaries as tokens of gratitude to the family. Around 70 different tree species now thrive there, connecting the grounds to this historical gift.
