About this location

This 17th century farmhouse stands out because of its oval windows, and owes its name to the Heron family (= the French word for heron) who owned the farmhouse in the 18th century.

The first owners were Cornelis Rochusse (1605-1676) and his father. The latter was a tailor by profession, and became a wealthy man. He even changed his name to Heron, meaning heron. His son Cornelis had the hofstede built around 1680.
