The castle of the Dalle-Dumont family, le Château Blanc, was occupied by the Germans from August 1914 to October 1918 as a German field hospital 'Feldlazarett Nr. 9. Adolf Hitler was treated there during the night of 13 to 14 October 1918 and remained there convalescing until the Armistice. This is where the wounded soldiers of the Heuvelland front between Ypres and the French-Belgian border are cared for. Soldiers who die of their wounds are buried in the park of the castle.
