Da franskmændene i 1794 greb magten i de sydlige Nederlandene, indførte de forskellige upopulære foranstaltninger, herunder obligatorisk værnepligt. Befolkningen var absolut ikke enige heri, og utilfredsheden steg. Dette resulterede fra 1798 i et oprør, Bondekrigen. To af de vigtigste ledere af dette oprør var indbyggere af Westerlo. Bondekrigen
var kort, men voldsom. Efter to måneder led bønderne et definitivt nederlag i Hasselt, da sansculotterne omringede bønderne nær kapellet i Hilst den 5. december 1798. På forpladsen ved abdiet i Tongerlo står den såkaldte Bondekrigsskur, en tiendeskur fra 1618. Den fik dette navn, fordi bønderne (brigands) angiveligt skulle have mødes her i hemmelighed.
