Le château en bref
Neigem Castle is located in Neigem, a section of Ninove (East Flanders), on the border between the former County of Flanders and the former Duchy of Brabant, within the lordship of Wedergraete. The site is mentioned as a "castrum" in a 12th-century charter and was known by the end of that century as "huys te Neygem"; the village developed around it. From the early 13th century, the lords of Wedergraete (Contrecœur) left Appelterre to settle there. After a fire in 1901, the castle was rebuilt; the protection decree for the Neigembos links it to the Flemish Renaissance, whereas the Flemish inventory speaks of a neo-traditional style. A remodelling in 1949 caused it to lose one storey. To the north-east of the estate stands a dovecote, possibly a former keep. The castle, its moats and its park are part of the protected landscape of the Neigembos.
