Poeyel used to designate the old village centre, while Poederlé was the place where the lords of Poederlee lived. On the old village square, the Heemkundige Kring reconstructed a medieval well found on the site of the former castle.
The building that stretched across the hill to the left was part of De Zwaan. De Zwaan consisted of a farm, a brewery, and a pub. Initially, this was the residence of the 'drossaard', the lord's representative. After World War II, it was converted into a diamond-cutting factory and later into housing. At the corner of the complex, the municipality rented a room that served as the town hall, where official documents were kept until the construction of the first town hall in 1861.
The building with the wall anchors '1666' is the former miller's house of the Van Goubergen family. They operated the Black Mill in Verbindingsstraat.
The ramparts of the old rectory are located behind the old village centre, and the tithe barn was located in the Biezenhoek. The village's first church must also have stood in this area. The house on the corner, now a butcher's shop, was the home of Dympna van Vlietingen, a great benefactress of the parish and Hegge, who died during the plague epidemic in 1668.
