 | | Papers show that Destelbergen was donated to the St. Peters Abbey of Gent in 962, and it remained in these hands until the French occupation at the end of the 18th century. |

 | | Today the village of Destelbergen forms one community with the hamlet of Heusden, and all visitors are surprised by the lots of green parcels and parks in the village. |
