This castle was built in the early 16° centuries as a square court with four corner-towers. The abbot quarters were increased in the 17°centuries. The place was rebuilt in 1780-1783 and sold in public in 1797. It was damaged heavily in the second world war. The water castle ‘Ter Dolen’ or ‘De Dool’ was in the middle ages an outside stay and reinforced sanctuary of the abbots of Saint Truiden. The outbuildings (a castle farm) were converted in 1994, to an ultramodern brewery. Today the classicistic U-form water castle with its white gables keeps still the two northern corner-towers.
