The origins of the castle can be only traced back to the year 1226, even the counts of Flanders and Hainaut have had control over Havré since the 11th century.

In 1518 Philip II de Croÿ commander of Emperor Charles V, became the owner of the castle.

He died before the birth of his son Charles-Philippe ( 1 September 1549 - Brussels † 25 November 1613 - in Burgundy ).

In 1578, the castle underwent its roughest period with siege by the armies of Don Juan de Austria and the Duke of Anjou.

Finally at the beginning of the twentieth century what was left, the castle due to negligence from 1930 transformed into ruins.
