History
‘Paardenheerlijkheid’ is situated at a lower part of the estate of Mariënwaerdt that was founded as a monastery in the 12th century.The mass of water used to be a problem until late in the 20th century. In 1954 a new house, called ‘De Woltersbouwing’ was built and in 1975 a new cowshed was erected which now is transformed into a horse shed. The old house has also been renovated and will be used as a reception room.
