'World War I behind the front'

Description

The visitor centre is located along the Westhoek Cycling Network, the Front Route, the Sint-Sixtus Walking Route and at junction 28 of the Hoppeland Walking Network.

On the attic floor there is a unique exhibition in which De Lovie, the Sint-Sixtus Abbey and 't Jagershof are central. Diary fragments of two brothers from the adbij who wrote down the event in the region form the guideline. The many unique pieces, uniforms, documents,... paint a picture of that turbulent period.

Ask about the group package 'In the footsteps of Prince Edward of England', which also includes a visit to De Lovie Castle, Dozinghem Cemetery and De Vrede Meeting Centre.
