Review:
Antoine de Croy of Picardy started building the chateau in 1455. It was completed in 1515 by his grandson who founded a Benedictine monastery on the site. The last duke of Croy died in 1612 and the property passed to his son-in-law, of the Arenberg family. During World War I, it was occupied by Germans. As the Arenbergs were themselves German, the property was seized by the Belgian government after the war and ceded to the Catholic University of Leuven. The University was split according to language in 1968. The property now houses the Engineering faculty of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. It is not open to the public.
