Round Bowl

The Round Basin was dug around 1880. The Large Basin was constructed in 1862 in the bed of the Mandel river, and the Small Basin was made in the bed of the Sint-Amandsbeek. They served for years as water retention basins for the surrounding textile factories of that time. After the economic function disappeared, the sites fell into disrepair. The Round Basin was first renovated and equipped with a fountain and new greenery that provides an idyllic setting. Then the Small Basin was drained to remove silt, and the overgrown vegetation was cleared. At both ends of the basin, there is now a staircase with seating areas and an access ramp for wheelchair users and strollers. A wooden esplanade just above the water surface allows for walking around the Small Basin.
