Castle of Rumbeke

Rumbeke is a town in the Belgian municipality of Roeselare in the province of West Flanders. It is most known as the location of Rumbeke Castle.[1] Rumbeke was a independent municipality before the fusion of the Belgian municipalities in 1977. Through new residential areas and industrial sites, such as along the Roeselare-Leie Canal, the town centre has become fused with the urban area of Roeselare. On the territory of the former municipality of Rumbeke, there are still the hamlets Zilverberg and Beitem, both of which also have their own parish.

History

The oldest known mention of Rumbeke is in the 12th century as Rumbeca (wide stream).
