War of Devolution
The Castle of Lilare is located near the River Zwalm. The original castle was plundered and set on fire by the troops of Louis XIV during the War of Devolution in 1667. The castle was rebuilt in the late 17th century. In 1933, the castle was bought by the sisters of Saint Francis of Opbrakel and turned into a girl boarding school. The castle is still in use as a school.
