Volckerinckhove is, long ago, a thriving agricultural village, witnessed by farmhouses scattered in the countryside. The village, like all villages in Flanders, was limited to a few houses of pensioners and traders who lined up along a street.
The church hidden in the back of the street is a model; Hallekerque (3 naves of equal height) like most churches in the area, has a south aisle shorter than the other two, which allowed the preservation of a Roman wall, a remnant of the original church of the 11th century, the massive tower also remains of the Romanesque basilica.
Volckerinckhove has retained its traditional appearance by planting hedges preserving some of its farmland. Some apple cabaret, variety from the village line the street where a house of mud, dated 1682 (now the Tourist Office) has been rising.
Since 2009, Volckerinckhove is labeled "Heritage Village".
