The Haverwerf is the surviving stretch of medieval quay where oats were unloaded from boats on the Dijle. The three houses lined up along it — "De Duiveltjes" (1545, with little carved devils running across the gables), "Het Paradijs" (1665, with Adam and Eve in the niche), and "Sint-Jozef" (1669) — are among the very few timber-fronted town houses left in Flanders, where almost everything else was rebuilt in brick after fires or simply replaced.
The best view is from the small footbridge over the Dijle just downstream — the houses lean over the water and the proportions photograph beautifully in the late afternoon.
