The Groot Duijfhuis (Great Pigeon House) is located west of Liempde and is one of the best-preserved historic dovecotes in Brabant. The structure dates from the 17th century and was originally part of a large farm complex belonging to the Norbertines of Postel. The tower was used to keep pigeons for meat and manure, a valuable resource for the agricultural land in the Dommeldal valley. The square, brick tower stands on a slight elevation in the open landscape and is recognizable by its high hipped roof and the rows of entrances under the eaves. Inside are hundreds of stone nesting niches—typical of dovecotes from this period. The Groot Duijfhuis is a national monument and forms a striking landmark in the agricultural landscape between Liempde and the Mortelen region.

This chapel was built in 2003 by the carnival association from Everse. They didn't have their own chapel yet. Every year during carnival, there's a performance. The chapel is very popular, and candles can be lit there.

often in spring some hiking trails are inaccessible due to high groundwater, so you will have to take a detour, but that is not a problem, there are plenty of other hiking trails that allow you to continue the route
