In the 16th century, an old Ghent patrician family lived here. The castle was a country residence of knight Rijkaert, 'Lord of Roborst' and mayor of Ghent in 1516. His son Jan van Utenhove was the later well-known leader of the Protestant church for Dutch religious refugees in London. The former town hall is the original gatehouse.
