The Mazenzeledries is protected as a monument because of its general importance formed by the: folkloric value.
The dries of Mazenzele is a very well preserved dries. In the shade of the trees there is a rural tranquility, where many an artist finds his inspiration and where, according to tradition, the king's shooting is held every year on Whitsun Day.

The Mazenzeledries undoubtedly belongs to the original 'hof of Masingasele', from which the later village of Mazenzele will grow. In terms of historical and landscape, in addition to the recognisability of the planting and grazing rights, the unchanged surface area of the dries is an important factor. From 1854 onwards, the 'Maxenzele de Societeit St.-Petrus' systematically became the owner of the plots of the dries. Today, this shooting guild - with 28 member-owners - is still the owner of the dries. It is a curiosity, one of a kind. The village square, the Gilde and the old Hof in the Borrewater go back to one and the same core, namely the origin and origin of the later village.
