The "Charleroyhoeve" in traditional brick and sandstone style is a remnant of what was once the most prestigious (semi-)closed farmyard of Grimbergen Abbey. Partly walled buildings from the third quarter of the 17th and 18th centuries, adapted or renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries. Rurally located on the northeastern edge of the village center, implanted on the corner formed by the Maalbeek and the Lierbaan within the protected village view "De Maalbeekvallei".

The Charleroyhoeve is a former abbey farm of Grimbergen Abbey, located in the nature reserve of the Maelbeek valley.
The farm was built in 1665 by the Grimberg abbey community. Her name refers to Charles II who was King of Spain in the 17th century and ruler of the Spanish Netherlands.
The beautiful round arched entrance gate mentions 1741, the year in which the farm was renovated. The outbuildings date from the 19th century.
After a fierce fire in 1976, the partially destroyed house was integrated into the restoration.
The farm houses a department of the municipal library and meeting rooms for all kinds of cultural associations.
