The first castle in Elverdinge was built around the 12th century. It originally belonged to the bastards of the counts of Flanders. Adrianus Vander Borcht received the manor in 1629. He had a castle built in Flemish Renaissance style. It was surrounded by water. This castle stood on the site where the old monastery now stands.
After the Vander Borcht family, the manor came into the hands of various families. In chronological order the families: de Bever, de Lichtervelde, de Steenhuyse, de Bethune Hesdigneul, d'Ennetières d'Hust and de Laubespin.
