Work on the château was completed in 1760. Local materials were used: red brick from the North and white stone from Lezennes. It was the home of the Lords of Wambrechies, including the Robert de Robersart family, who gave it their name.
The last occupant was Juliette, Countess de Robersart, who died in 1900. The building later housed a brewery, a laundry and a school. It is now a municipal building. Behind it, the 7-hectare park features an arboretum with 270 hardy species and 75 varieties of roses. The so-called "Countess Garden" features 300 ornamental species.
