The first must have been in the eighth century, near today's Sint-Gorikswijk and the Torenhof, a historic farm with a 14th-century keep. Around 1100 the abbey of Affligem gained a foothold in Kobbegem and so a new residential core was created more to the north. The old St. Gorik's Church was left in ruins after the religious unrest during the 16th century.
