The historical site of the Hof ten Houte consists of a square, medieval residential tower, which probably dates back to the second half of the 15th century (after 1468), and associated, now renovated farm buildings. As the original seat of a smaller lordship, the residential tower is a representative and well-preserved example of a noble residence from the heyday of this residential type. The prestige of this tower-shaped building came to the fore after the middle of the 15th century at the expense of the original defensive character.

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.
