Tips

December 5, 2025

Unfortunately, much of it has been extensively renovated, and you can't really get close enough to see the old center unless you have a very good lens—and even then, that's okay.

A bit of history: "It is impossible to determine exactly when the Boschelle house was donated to the Order of the Hospital. What is certain is that this happened through the Duke, who traditionally owned many properties in Hakendover. Under the influence of the Duke and his entourage, the Order of Citeaux had also acquired several properties here in the early 13th century. For example, the nearby Beenshoeve was owned by the Cistercians of Vrouwenark Abbey in Wezemaal, and the Cistercian Abbey of Maagdendaal was founded on the other side of the Gete.

The tax records of the Duke of Brabant regularly mention land adjacent to the Bosschelle properties. There are few direct references to the farm. We do know, however, that the municipal boundaries of Wommersom were established on July 4, 1348, partly by a certain Libert van der Bosschellen. The fact that the border of this municipality extends close to the Bosschelle may be a likely explanation here." It's no stranger to this.

In the 15th century, a certain Willem vander Bosschelle was alderman of Tienen. Early mentions of the name of Bosschelle can also be found in the charterbook of Oplinter Abbey from 1396, f 63. Boschelle is also mentioned in 1315 and 1340.

Impressive square farm from the 18th century. Once belonged to the Knights of the Order of Malta.

The lane in front of the farm contains some beautiful poplars
