Description

L'Abazia di Affligem fu nel XVII secolo il quartier generale degli eserciti olandese e tedesco. Erano qui stanziati per la famosa Battaglia di Seneffe (1674), una lotta contro i francesi. In un solo giorno furono uccisi ben 8000 alleati e 3500 francesi. Dopo la battaglia, gli eserciti rimasero qui nei dintorni, causando molte miserie per la popolazione locale. Così, la chiesa di Mazenzele fu incendiata da una sezione di tedeschi e olandesi. Questi erano comunque dalla "nostra" parte, contro l'occupante francese. Ma questo si rivelò relativamente vero. La chiesa fu data alle fiamme e parte delle case bruciarono. Tutti gli animali furono uccisi e tutto ciò perché i francesi, al loro passaggio, non trovassero più nulla nel villaggio.
