Quando l'imperatore Carlo V soffocò la ribellione di Gand nel 1540, costrinse i gendarmi a demolire grandi parti dell'abbazia di San Bavone e del villaggio di San Bavone per la costruzione del Castrum Novum, il successivo Castello degli Spagnoli. La torre dell'abbazia fu demolita e Carlo pose personalmente la prima pietra del castello il 12 maggio 1540. Migliaia di lavoratori si misero al lavoro. L'immenso castello fu completato nel 1545 e ospitava circa 2500 uomini.
