Anno 1625. Then the castle had the name 'Hoeve Ter Dilft'. In 1738, comes ‘Ter Dilft’ in the hands of the family Udens, which it renames to the Hoff van der Diest. Around 1830 buys baron the Caters the castle. He carries out a lot of decorating works and makes of the field a real castle park with farms and a court ditch. After his dead the field comes in the hands of the family Du Bois de Vroylande and de Borrekens. Baron Victor de Borrekens demolish the old castle entirely at the beginning of the twentieth century and build there a new one to the edge of the ancient pond. After his dead the castle goes to doctor Oscar Declercq. Under the name clinic ‘Team Halle’ one treat there then patients with rheumatism. Witness of this were the large wooden baths that still were present when the municipality in 1978 bought the field.
