Until the end of the Ancien Regime owned by the same Benedictine abbey. Large semi-closed farmhouse; irregular quadrangular construction the same as on late 17th-century rendering. Approximately 160 meters away from the street with asphalted straight access road, next to a former footpath from Oudenaarde to Geraardsbergen.
