[1] The name of the farm comes from the last people that lived there: Sofie Mostinckx and her husband Karel de Pauw.

The Ferraris maps show a farm on the location of huisje Mostinckx.

Huisje Mostinckx is a small farm made of loam, as was common in Pajottenland.

Most of these farms no longer exist, and the house is protected as a Flemish monument since 1981.

When a family had more money, they would gradually replace the loam of the weakest walls with stone bricks.
