    Hiking

    The rectory of Wezemaal is a large house that probably dates from 1624.

    It is partly built in ironstone and is a complex consisting of a pastor's house, an outbuilding and a gatehouse with a pigeon tower.

    The buildings are surrounded by a moat and the domain is delimited by a brick wall.

    The pastors, Norbertines from Averbode, lived within the shelter of the moat and could only go outside via the drawbridge. In times of war this shelter was not a luxury

    Hiking

    A beautiful and moated parsonage from the seventeenth century that, together with the church and other heritage, forms a beautiful whole with a truly old village center structure. The gatehouse of the rectory is very handsome and the brick wall on the inside hides the description of a graft of the oldest vine in the world (from Maribor) that is proudly displayed here. Immediately to the right of the entrance gate you will find a well on the same wall.
