The village also features the historic Beauvoorde Castle, originally dating back to the 12th century and rebuilt in the Flemish Renaissance style in the early 1600s.

[1] The castle was built by Jacob de Bryarde, bailiff of Veurne, around 1600, replacing an earlier non-fortified mansion that had been burned down by beggars in 1584.

[2] During World War II, the village churchyard became the final resting place for 15 Commonwealth soldiers, a testament to its involvement in the defense of Belgium in May 1940.

The land is flat and often damp: about ten of the Wulveringem farms were partially or completely surrounded by moats.

The registered population peaked in 1830 at 1,080 before the lure of higher wages in the industrializing towns and the mechanisation of agriculture led to a slow decline, to 822 in 1910.
