Poeke Castle
Highlight • Castle
It is unknown when the first castle was built on site, but Poeke was already mentioned in 1139. The building did play an important role in the conflict between Louis of Male and the people of Ghent in 1382. In the same year, Eulaard II van Poeke was killed when he led the count's troops at the battle of the Beverhoutsveld against the advance of the Ghent militia. who had tried to stop his castle.
The lords of Poeke were loyal vassals of the Count of Flanders. For example, Anastasia van Oultre, second wife of Eulard III of Poeke, remarried Robert of Flanders, bastard son of Louis of Male.
In 2021, the municipality of Aalter sold the castle to Tourism Flanders for a symbolic amount.
