This beautiful stone farmhouse dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. From June to September 1944, it hosted Prince Charles, brother of King Leopold III, under the pseudonym Mr. Richard. At the time, he was wanted by the Germans and was to become Regent of the Kingdom after the liberation.

This remarkable tree, known as the "Old Oak", has a circumference of over five metres and is at least 500 years old. According to tradition, Charlemagne dispensed justice on it. The tree has been a listed monument since 1960.
