To the south of Ghent, past Bachte Maria-Leerne, Deurle borders the park of the Château of Ooidonk.
The original château was built in the 13th C. and burnt down in the 15th. The new building of 1595 was in Flemish-Spanish style with stepped gables and small towers finished with onion- shaped pinnacles. There are two wings off the main building, each ending in a side tower.
