Description

The Castle of Ooigem is a castle in the town of Ooigem in the municipality of Wielsbeke, West Flanders, located at Desselgemsestraat 15.

This was the seat of the village lordship of Ooigem. It is possible that a castle was built here as early as the 9th century to protect Harelbeke. The oldest known lord was mentioned in 1080 as Lambertus de Odenghem. Around 1260 the castle came into the possession of the lords of Luxembourg. They probably had a stone castle built as early as the 13th century. At the end of the 14th century there is said to have been a fire and in the course of the 15th century the castle fell into disrepair.
