The site originated as the historic Goed Ten Oudevoorde estate, which was first mentioned in the early 16th century and later developed into a country residence for prominent local families. The current castle was built in 1924 on the site of an older castle that had existed since at least the 17th century and was destroyed in 1918.

Surrounded by parkland, the estate forms part of the historic landscape of Doornzele, an area known for its large traditional village green and long local history. Today, Kasteel Doornzele is valued as a heritage landmark that reflects the region’s aristocratic past and contributes to the cultural character of the Ghent area.
