Hidden in the green Maalbeek valley lies the Hof te Poddegem, a former moated castle with an impressive 14th century keep – the smallest square residential tower in Flanders! The medieval site with remains of ramparts, a gate tower and old farm buildings breathes history, from Frankish origins to status symbol of local lords.

Hof te Poddegem is the oldest known farmstead in Grimbergen. The origins of this medieval fortified farm date back to a 5th-century Frankish domain. 'Poddegem' literally means 'the home of the people of Pud'. In the 13th century, Hof te Poddegem was mentioned as a fief of the Prince of Grimbergen.
