The Pannenhuis is a farm on the Hoekeinde in Merksplas. It is a former inn and brewery ('De Zwaan'), built in 1654 on one of the old connecting roads between Antwerp and Cologne, near a mudflat in the Mark. In the southern facade are the annual figures '1654' and a gable sign with a cross of sintered brick, as a symbol that itinerant judges held court here.

pan house' is in fact a folk etymology: the original word for such a house was 'paan house'. And 'paan, or 'panne' is the Middle Dutch name for brew kettle. According to Verdam's 'Middle Dutch Hand Dictionary', a 'panhuus' is a brewery or brewhouse. In those times, the villagers were obliged to brew their beer in the paan house, so that the lord of the village or area knew immediately how much taxes the people owed and had to pay. Because, let's face it, even in earlier times only the sun rose for nothing. Incidentally, the names 'Panis' and 'Impanis' are derived from such paan houses: they literally mean 'from the paan house'
