Wambashoeve

The Wambashoeve is now a quiet and cozy bed & breakfast.

The Wambashoeve used to be called "Sinte Martijns" and was created as a split-off from the old "Hof ten Broeke" (located on the other side of the Brusselstraat).
At the first mandatory written registration of real estate by 'the Netherlands', in 1641, the farm was leased to the 'Wambeze' family, hence the name Wambashoeve.
After a few quiet years, the Wambashoeve was damaged by Louis XIV's warfare at the end of the 17th century and was almost completely destroyed in 1696 by the army gangs that ravaged the region.
Due to a lack of money, the farm was only rebuilt halfway through the 18th century.
After the farm was seized by the French Republic, it was sold to a certain 'Vidat' in March 1797. After which it came into the hands of the brothers Ferdinand and Prosper Spitaels, Mayor and successful industrialist, around 1835.
In 1874, Hof ten Wambas was sold together with Hof ten Broeke to Count Karel de Kerckhove de Denterghem. He in turn sold the farm to the Maquestiau family in 1959.
After which the farm came into the hands of the current owners, the Devos family, in 1978. Source: wambashoeve.be
