The half-timbered house is a remnant of a large half-timbered farm ' Het Groot Gasthuisgoed '. The government agency Nature and Forest bought it in 2005 from the social welfare centre of Poperinge.
The building was in a poor condition and was restored in 2015.
It’s located at the junction of the Helleketelweg with the Stoppelweg in Poperinge and serves as departure area for guided walks and activities.
