Hiking

Hoeve Liefkensrode is a closed farm with a possible foundation at the end of the 13th century. The current farm with gatehouse and house from the 17th century incorporates an indoor 16th century chapel. In the second half of the 18th century, four detached wings were combined into a closed farm.

Hiking

The Liefkensrode farm was probably founded around 1284 by Hendrik Liefkint, alderman of Diest and founder of the Liefkintgodshuis. He gave the order to clear the existing forests. The toponym Liefkensrode means ‘forest clearing under the direction of Liefkint’. In 1336 the farm was owned by a certain Mathiaas de Lifkenrode who in turn bequeathed it to heirs such as Morijs van Liefkensrode (before 1370) and Reyneris van Liefkensrode (from 1371). However, no documents or descriptions have been preserved about the layout and buildings of the farm since its foundation.
