    The oldest house in Zichem is on the market. It dates from 1617. Here the toll was collected for the transport of goods on the Demer.
    In the facade are some cannon balls from the Spanish era.
    The house was partially saved from demolition.
    A particularly beautiful entrance gate and the Renaissance cross windows indicate former prosperity.

    The 6 cannon balls were bricked into the facade as a reminder of the battle of Zichem on 21 February 1578.

    Hiking

    Throughout history, the toll house has seen a lot. The building has had several owners. The function was also later changed from toll house to hertberg “Het Witte Paard”. Since 1975, the building has been protected as a monument. In 1989, it was restored, but in the facade you can still find several cannonballs from the Eighty Years' War. In 2017, the historic gatehouse of the toll house was demolished. That part was not protected as a monument. The actual toll house has remained standing.
