History
Tussenbeek was a community of sisters dependent on Peteghem. They moved from Serskamp in 1256. The monastic complex and the community's archives were destroyed in a fire in 1578.
In 1783, the monastery was suppressed on the orders of Emperor Joseph II, and the property passed into private hands.
