It was the residence of the Lords of Grimbergen and is named after Philip-Frans van Bergen, Prince of Grimbergen. The castle dates from the early 17th century; during World War II it was an ammunition depot that was set on fire by the retreating Germans in September 1944.
The castle's former moat now serves as a fishing pond.
In the heavy square pillars that still support the vault of one of the halls, the coat of arms of the family can still be clearly distinguished with inscription 1610.
