Zevergem

Zevergem is a village and deelgemeente (sub-municipality) of De Pinte in East Flanders, Belgium.

[2] The village was first mentioned in 964 as Sewaringhem, and means "settlement of the people of Saiwirwar (person)".

Zevergem was part of a heerlijkheid (landed estate), but the countryside belonged to the more important Lords of Welden who owned a castle near the area.

The current water castle with double moat and walls was built around 1700 in late Baroque style.

In 1933, a gate house in Rococo style was moved from Hotel de Hemptinne to the castle grounds.
