Mesen

Highlight • Settlement

1,040 inhabitants and 358 hectares: Mesen is officially the smallest town in Belgium. The place was once an important business location: in the 11th and 12th centuries, all cloth merchants from Lille, Ypres, Bruges and Torhout came here for the annual market.

St. Nicholas Church with its striking dome dates back to those golden years. The entire building was damaged during the First World War and only partially rebuilt in 1928. Only the tower is a reminder of what the church must have looked like in the past.

Want to keep track? Then climb the tower. 37 meters above the ground you have a wonderful panoramic view over the hills of the Heuvelland to Lille.

Spanbroekmolen Crater (Pool of Peace)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Spanbroekmolen crater, also known as the Pool of Peace, is an impressive mine crater in Wijtschate. This crater was formed on June 7, 1917, during the Second Battle of Messines, when British troops detonated 19 underground mines. The explosion created a crater 27 meters deep and 129 meters in diameter. After nearly 100 years of erosion, the crater is now a peaceful pool 12 meters deep and 76 meters in diameter.
