Beautiful country house. If you walk in front of this, you will pass through a very beautiful forest that goes to Valkenburg.

The farm you see from here and which stands out because it stands alone and clearly has historical value, is called the Holswick farm. It was built in 1776 by the then mayor of Houthem, a certain Adrien Pelerin. He had acquired the Houthem part of the Ravensbos a few years earlier.

The large manor farm later got a beautiful residential wing on the east side with a view of the Ravensbos. After the necessary renovations and changes of ownership, Holswick was bought in 1917 by Arthur Count de Marchant et d’Ansembourg. His son Leopold lived there in the residential wing from 1930 to 1937.
