A historic farmhouse 

Plein 202 (now Pley 20) is the seat of a former Jesuit fief. This is a very old location: the property was donated in 1083 by Conrad I, Duke of Luxembourg, together with the church and the tithe rights, to the Benedictine Minster of Luxembourg. The tithe levy meant in practice that everyone was obliged to hand over a tenth of their agricultural produce to the church and, in return, the collector of tithes had to maintain the church building and the sacred vessels (needed for church services). He was also obliged to support the poor, widows and orphans. In 1620 the property passed into the possession of the Jesuits in Maastricht and, after this order had been disbanded in 1773, it passed into the ownership of the Antwerp banker J.B. Cogels.

The oldest parts of this enclosed farmhouse date from the reconstruction in 1644. In 1653 the property was plundered by troops from Lorraine. The river Voer flows beneath it via a brick arch. The marl limestone quoins and the anchored round arch gate in a limestone frame with edge blocks on the upright sections are typical. In addition to their size and siting, the outbuildings - the large barn at the rear and the stables on either side of it - show other traces of their early origin in the wrought iron wall anchors and scrolls, rough-stone walls and a number of rectangular windows in limestone frame.
