Pigeon Tower domini provincial d'Aertrycke - Torhout

Description

Aquest colomar es troba a prop dels edificis d'utilitat agrupats al sud del castell.

Hi ha, entre d'altres coses, la finca amb aquest notable colomar rodó, una casa de jardiner i golfes de faisans.

A causa del dany que els coloms poden causar a la collita de gra , la cria de coloms solia estar molt regulada per la llei de coloms. L' esport colom era una vegada un esport de l' elit. Els senyors només podien tenir una parella de coloms per hectàrea de terra , segons la llei de coloms de l'Antic Règim. Els animals es guardaven en imponents colomars, com a símbol d'estatus per als molt rics. Algunes torres de coloms fins i tot estaven habitades per algú que havia de protegir els coloms. Al cap i a la fi, es menjaven en temps de fam . L'arquitectura també va prestar atenció a evitar que les rates i altres depredadors pugissin a la torre.

Avui, aquestes construccions singulars han desaparegut en gran part del nostre paisatge.
