Jonker 1674 for a cosy and relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels welcome in a 19th-century estaminet.
The cellar
A storage place for the brew with an underground passage to the neighbouring brewery, which was demolished in the early 1970s by Colruyt to make way for a new operating site for their smaller Lembeek business in colonial goods. The interior of the townhouse still contains many artistic ornaments that refer to its former occupant.
A piece of history
Located in the heart of Halle, Jonker 1674 breathes the atmosphere of bygone days. Our beer cellar has been carefully restored to preserve its authentic details, making every visit a journey through time.
The year 1674 refers to the year in which Ignatius Lindemans (°1647-1720) applied for letters of nobility from the Spanish King Charles II, which were never granted because they remained unpaid.
This cellar was historically part of the townhouse and of the adjacent faro brewery, built around 1850 by Mr Leopold De Boeck (° 1846 - +1906), Mayor of the city of Halle (see photo), on the plot next to the newly built Bergensesteenweg, on land belonging to the former family farm and brewery De Vrede, located further back parallel to the Zenne river.

Descendants of Mayor De Boeck gathered in HALLE
Some twenty descendants of former Halle mayor Leopold De Boeck gathered in their ancestral home, built by Leopold in the mid-19th century, at Bergensesteenweg 67 – 69 in Halle.
The elders wanted to introduce their own descendants to the historic building of their (great-)(great-)(great-)grandfather. The current mayor, Dirk Pieters, came to personally greet the family of his former colleague.
At the end of 1890, Leopold De Boeck was elected as a new liberal member of the municipal council. At the inaugural meeting of the new council members on 1 January 1891, the council proposed the appointment of Leopold De Boeck as mayor. He held this office until 1895. From 1896 to 1900, De Boeck moved to the opposition benches. After a new election victory for his party, he was appointed mayor for the second time by Royal Decree of 5 July 1901. He remained mayor until his death on 15 November 1906.
Leopold De Boeck also came from a family of brewers, who brewed in Halle from 1700 to 1955. Leopold De Boeck was also the first vice-chairman of Halattraction and was thus present at the birth of the Halle carnival.

Biography of de Waepenaert
Knight Jan IV Marijn de Waepenaert d' Erpe (1663 – 1724) was, among other things, responsible for supplying the allied armies in their war against the French during the War of the Spanish Succession (the claim to the Spanish crown).
In May 1707 he was appointed High Alderman of the Land of Dendermonde, responsible for allocating the taxes for the sovereign. In 1713 he acquired the lordship of Erpe.
Emperor Charles VI (father of the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa) granted him the hereditary title of Knight of the Holy Roman Empire. He acquired a great many revenue-producing estates.
Knight Karel de Waepenaert d' Erpe (1691 – 1735), son of Jan Marijn, was admitted in 1715 as a lawyer at the Great Council of Mechelen, founded by Philip the Handsome in January 1504 as the supreme court of the whole of the Low Countries and seated in Mechelen. From 1740 he was deputy procurator-general, councillor and master of requests at the Great Council of Mechelen. On 29 May 1724 he was appointed councillor at the same Great Council by Emperor Charles VI. Through his father Marijn he inherited a great deal of real estate.
Knight Karel de Waepenaert de Kerrebrouck (1749 -1794) was born in the garrison town of Dendermonde, where he also became alderman and later mayor. He was also a deputy in the States of Flanders.
He inherited a great many estates from his father, and through his marriage in 1776 to a distant cousin, de Waepenaert de Kerrebrouck, he also acquired the title Lord of Kerrebrouck. He was captain-lieutenant in the imperial regiment from 1768.
His descendant Jonkvrouw Constance de Waepenaert de Kerrebrouck (1860-1935) became our great-grandmother through her marriage in 1886 to Alois Lindemans. As a result, this sole surviving Waepenaert line lives on through the Lindemans family, with the three helmeted Waepenaert heads in their current heraldic coat of arms.

The area
The area "Buyten de Bergpoort" was an industrial growth hub outside the city gate after the construction of the Brussels-Charleroi canal. In the 18th-19th century it was still under the guardianship of the Duke of Arenberg from Enghien, who settled a neighbourly dispute here about the salinisation of the adjacent Groebbegracht ("Peace of Arenberg"). The current owners (the Lindemans family) have ties to the brewing past (Winderickx gueuze brewery in Dworp, Herisem mill, Winderickx(plein) in Alsemberg, Lindemans gueuze in Vlezenbeek, de Waepenaert in Grimbergen,...).
The De Boeck residential complex (monitored by Monumentenwacht) has been the setting for several TV productions (Witse, Pascale Naessens,...). Jonker 1674 truly breathes the atmosphere of times gone by.
The year 1674 refers to the year in which Ignatius Lindemans (°1647-+1720) applied for letters of nobility from the Spanish King Charles II, although the title of Jonker was never granted because the royalties for it always remained unpaid.
