Loowaard Farm House was built around 1560 by Herman van den Loe and his wife Digna van Isendoorn in the Loowaard near Duiven. A sandstone beam with crest stone in the tower refers to this fact.
The crest is currently just above ground level, seemingly a strange place. However, a drawing from 1742 by Jan de Beijer shows that the ground level in that century was a few meters lower, which explains the location of the stone. After a flood in 1855, an elevation was made around the house, although this made the lower part of the house unusable.
