The seven new owners of d’Oude Pastorie in Hulste invited the residents on Monday evening for a first acquaintance. “The number of visitors of more than 200 people was much higher than our expectations,” according to the initiators.

Their plan is to breathe new life into this distinctive gem and create a place where one can relax or simply enjoy an activity in a unique setting. Businessmen invited the residents of Hulste to get acquainted first: apparently a bull’s-eye.
Looking for a little nostalgia

They were curious to explore the comfort of the parsonage in search of a little nostalgia And chat over a warm bowl of pumpkin soup or a soft drink, says Bert Decever, a consultant at SASConsult.
“There’s a future in it, that’s for sure.”
It also had the opportunity to submit proposals and put forward suggestions and ideas. “The group of artists immediately thought of a gallery because the space is there. Others thought of all kinds of intimate workshops and concerts, incorporating the garden into activities, lectures, and a space for children,” says Burt.
“It’s a perfect addition to the vibrant vibe that Hulste has. A place where young and old can find their way. We want to continue to support the importance of the strong social fabric in the thriving village of Hulste. The fact that this is also literally under the church tower provides the icing on the cake. We look forward to seeing What we can do with the residents: “There is a future in it, that’s for sure,” says Patrick Clerhout of Povidrev Clerhout and councilor.
