On the edge of the Mollendaalbos is a very old farm, the Rachierhof. The first records of this farm date back to 1401, when it was owned by the Abbey of Valduc (Hamme-Mille). For a long time, the Rachierhof consisted of mud buildings with brick substructure. A new whitewashed house was built in 1753, the barn is 80 years younger (1832). Despite some newer buildings, the farm's floor plan has remained unchanged for 250 years. The leasehold was part of the property of the Dukes of Arenberg until 1918. The farm was run by the Wackers family until about ten years ago.
