Jean Charles de Brouchoven de Bergeyck

Count

Count Jean Charles de Brouchoven de Bergeyck, of Mechelen, is cited by the Flemish inventory as the original owner of the Trianon estate at Hever (Boortmeerbeek), where a building parallel to the Leuven road, at the end of an avenue planted over about two kilometres, appears on the Ferraris map (1771–1775). He also owned the Gottendijs castle in the same locality. The Trianon estate then passed to the Van Langhendonck family, whose heyday came just before the First World War.
