Court of Ram

History
This detached barn called "Hof van Ram", belonged to the farm of the estate De Beek. The barn was probably built around 1893 as part of the farm. The building is located northeast of the Landhuis De Beek. The barn owes its name to the De Ram family, who owned the estate for a while at the end of the 19th century.
The building has had several functions, with the interior in particular undergoing changes. Due to overdue maintenance, the barn was in a poor structural condition. Thanks to Heemkundekring Halchterth, the barn was restored in the years 2003 and 2004. This now serves as a heme house.

Building specifications
'Hof van Ram' belongs to the type of the WestBrabant four-aisled barn. The barn has a rectangular floor plan and is characterized by its four-aisled layout with the longitudinal part in one of the two central naves. The supporting structure is constructed from recycled material, presumably largely from a large, demolished barn with the same construction from the Auvergne polder
