On 14 April 1401 it was well dedicated to Willem van Beijeren, Count of Oostervant, after which he received it back as immortal legacy.

Westhove was occupied by soldiers, who finally had to surrender to Bartholt Entens van Mentheda.

The church belongings were then sold, the new owner of Westhove became Colonel Heijnrik Balfour, who died two years later.

Rather than leaving the estate to his son Adam Boreel, Jacob bequeathed Westhove to his cousin Jacoba van den Brandde.

On 10 March 1799 Jacoba's cousin Wilhelmina Carolina van den Brande inherited the country estate.

In 1880 Judge Boddaert sold the country estate to his sister PPC De Bruyn-Boddaert (1814-1905).

Her daughter Wilhelmina Johanna de Bruyn (1842-1926) married WA count van Lynden (1836-1913), mayor of Koudekerke who has recovered a lot.
