On 13 March 1440, Philip the Good granted Wechelderzande, along with Gierle and Lille, as a fief to Ambrosius de Dynter. The aldermanic court or manor of the feudal lordship was henceforth named Hof d'Intere. The manor sat in an inn in the village.
The Hof d'Intere building was erected in 1649 by the lord of Wechelderzande, squire Jan de Proost or Johan de Proost. The newly built, impressive residence was named Hof d'Intere for two reasons. Firstly, because it was constructed on a plot of land that was a feudal possession under the jurisdiction of the Hof d'Intere, and secondly, because Johan de Proost had acquired the rights to this feudal lordship and, as a result, was also entitled to bear the title 'Lord of Dynter.'
From 1686 to 1964, Hof d'Intere was the rectory of Wechelderzande. It later served as the town hall of Wechelderzande until the merger in 1977. It was then used for a while as the municipal council, reception, ceremony, and wedding hall of the municipality.
