Bellem is located about 16 kilometres west of Ghent.The parish Bellem was founded around 1240 as Bethlehem. It was first mentioned as Bellem in 1291. The village was a heerlijkheid, but used to contain five enclaves containing farms belonging to Schuurvelde. In 1577, Bellem and Schuurvelde were merged into a single heerlijkheid. Around 1650, a castle was built, and Bellem was elevated to barony in 1655.
