The estate was developed around 1865 by Louis A Speculo, scion of a Tienen notary family. A small castle was built in neo-Gothic style. This building, on a square plan, had four octagonal corner turrets with battlements. In 1895, another bay was added and a service building was also expanded into a farmyard with a monumental coach house. Behind the castle is a park with a pond.

The family 'a Speculo' was originally called Vanderspiegelen. Because this didn't sound very chic, the family changed the name from Verspaansen to 'a Speculo'. Next to the castle, which is actually a manor house painted white since the 70s, there is a coach house and a domain with a pond and modern art. On the site of the coach house, there was previously a service building. This was expanded in 1895 into a farmyard with a monumental coach house wing.
