The surrounding cemetery is enclosed by a low brick wall with a plinth and blue limestone covering slabs, above which is an iron gate with elaborate cast-iron columns. The western and eastern entrances are flanked by block pillars. The gravestones vary in both design and material, the oldest of which, primarily made of blue limestone, date back to the second half of the 19th century. (Inventory of Immovable Heritage)

Ten Houte means "at the wood, at the forest." Buggenhoutbos once extended all the way to Peizegem. During the Middle Ages, Ten Houte was a very important neighborhood. It was strategically located along the main road from Hainaut to the Scheldt (Briel). Ten Houte—now just the name of a street—was the last stop before travelers entered the large Buggenhoutbos. Ten Houte is the oldest residential area in Peizegem. (Information board a little further on)

The historic site of Hof ten Houte consists of a square, medieval residential tower, likely dating back to the second half of the 15th century (after 1468), and associated, now renovated, farm buildings. Originally the seat of a smaller lordship, the residential tower is a representative and well-preserved example of a noble residence from the heyday of this type of dwelling. The prestige of this tower-shaped building style came to the fore after the mid-15th century, at the expense of its original defensive character. (Inventory of Immovable Heritage)

A miniature mill, located opposite the historic Heidemolen, offers young and old a playful introduction to Malderen's mill heritage. Although not functional, its shape and structure reflect the typical characteristics of a traditional post mill: a wooden structure on a pedestal, with sails that catch the wind.
