In a circle of wooden posts stands a 'judicial tree', under whose crown, according to Frankish custom, court sessions were held. Until the end of the 17th century, those sentenced to death were brought to the 'Verbrand', as the surrounding fields are still called, for execution. At a height of 1.50 metres, this 24 m high mastodon has a trunk circumference of no less than 6.20 m
Close by is also the Jonge Eik, which has also reached the respectable age of more than 35 years.

Under den "tusindårige" eg ville der siden den karolingiske periode ifølge frankisk skik være afsagt dom. Stedet nær egetræet fungerede formodentlig som henrettelsesplads indtil slutningen af det 17. århundrede: hekse ville være blevet ført til træet for at få deres straf eksekveret.

Dette sted er lokalt kendt som “Het Verbrand” (Den Brændte), en henvisning til bålet, hvor de dømte mødte deres ende. Ifølge specialister ville denne eg være 400 til 500 år gammel.

På ejendommen er der yderligere to ege. Disse kaldes i folkemunde "sønnen og barnebarnet af den tusindårige eg".
