The first Yser Tower was inaugurated in 1930 as a memorial to the Flemish soldiers who lost their lives in the front region. During World War II, the site became a backdrop for collaboration. The Yser Tower was detonated during an attack in 1946. A new tower rose from the ruins in 1965. For several years now, the tower has housed a museum.
The renewed Museum aan de IJzer in the Yser Tower tells the story of the Belgian-German front during the First World War through the stories of soldiers, refugees and civilians on both sides of the front. The museum does not deliver a non-binding message, but a clear assignment: No more war! In addition, the political consequences of this war that culminate in the Flemish struggle for emancipation are also explained. In addition to the view over the former Yser Front, you can also enjoy a magnificent panorama over Diksmuide and the Westhoek on top of the 84-meter high tower.
