Hof ter Musschen, farmhouse in Kapelleveld, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Belgium

Hof ter Musschen is a historic farmhouse in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert with buildings dating from the 15th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The property spreads across about 10 hectares with fields, wetland areas, and natural hedgerow landscapes typical of the Brabant region.

The farm stands on the ruins of a 15th-century building, of which a Gothic fireplace survives; the former kitchen dates from the 16th century, while the two-storey dwelling and barn were built in 1740 and the south wing housing the pigsty and stables in 1898. The Draeck family ran the holding for nearly 150 years, and Florent Draeck, its last farmer, sold it to the municipality in 1965 on condition he could stay. The farm was restored in 1994 by the airline Sabena.

The name means "farm of sparrows". The farm was never church property, unlike most Brabant farms; it was held from the lordship of Woluwe and passed through the prince de Ligne, the count d'Oultremont and the Du Pré and Morren families. The Draeck family farmed it for nearly 150 years, and one son, Henri, became alderman and then mayor of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert from 1864 to 1874.

The site can be circled on foot, but boots are needed because of the marsh and the river barrier; the walk starts best on the narrow path along the Woluwe at the corner of boulevard de la Woluwe and avenue Chapelle-aux-Champs. From avenue Hippocrate, a wooden gate on the right leads behind the farm, and just past the house a path reaches a small observation hut over the marsh. The paved sunken drève Hof ter Musschen, recorded since the 18th century, runs from the windmill on avenue Emmanuel Mounier straight to avenue Chapelle-aux-Champs.

The small bakehouse beside the farm was saved from ruin by the CEBE (Commission de l'environnement de Bruxelles-Est) and repaired between 2004 and 2007. A traditional baking workshop open to the public now runs there on the first Sunday of each month from April to October.
