Diksmuide Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The market of Diksmuide is a lively and historic place in the center of the city. On the Grote Markt in Diksmuide, merchants have been offering their merchandise at the weekly Monday market since the thirteenth century. Now there is also the farmer's market on Saturday afternoon, where local producers sell their delicious farm products in an atmospheric market.
Diksmuide is also known as the Butter City. The Boterhalle and the Boter- en Kaasfeesten on Whit Monday bear witness to this. The statue 'Het Manneke uit de Mane' is the symbol of Flemish humor that is guarded by the 'Orde van het Manneke', while the statue of General-Baron Jacques reminds us of the Battle of Diksmuide in 1914.
The center of Diksmuide received a thorough facelift. The aim of the project was to make the center of Diksmuide more attractive. The Grote Markt is now a pleasant square. The trees, benches and water elements make it really cozy.

Yser Tower and Pax Gate Memorial, Diksmuide

Highlight • Monument

In the IJzer Tower you will find the Museum on the IJzer. It tells the story of the Belgian-German front during World War I through the stories of soldiers, refugees and civilians on both sides of the front.

From the top of the 84 meter high tower you have a wonderful panoramic view over Diksmuide and the Westhoek.

Knokkebrug Drawbridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Knokkebrug is located on the border of Diksmuide with Lo-Reninge and Houthulst, although the coat of arms of the latter municipality hangs on the railing. It owes its name to the Fort Knocke that the Spaniards built there in 1590 and that was once of great military importance. Today there is a cone-shaped shelter, a rest and information point for cyclists. The drawbridge is located at the confluence of the Yser with the Ieperlee Canal.

Leaning Tower of Pervijze

Highlight • Monument

At this location you can get acquainted with an old observation post of the Belgian army. The observation post was built on the foundations of the old rectory tower. How many storms will this tower be able to withstand? It looks like he could fall over at any moment. In the shadow of the tower you can observe the different construction phase 😜.

Landscape Art Concrete Blocks

Highlight • Monument

The Landscape Artwork by Lucas Coeman is located on the verge of the Frontzate in Pervijze.
The artwork is a contemporary interpretation of the Yser Front. The artwork consists of 104 concrete blocks laid in a well-defined pattern in the meadow. The blocks represent the numbers 4, 8, 19 14 and 11, 11, 19, 18, numbers that together form the dates August 4, 1914 and November 11, 1918. Feel free to take your time and take a walk in your imagination over the pasarels in the inundated area.

World War I Shelter Ramskapelle

Highlight • Historical Site

The reconstructed shelter along the Frontzate in Ramskapelle is a remnant from the First World War. The Frontzate, which is now a cycle path over the old railway bed from Nieuwpoort to Diksmuide, formed the Belgian line during the war by flooding the IJzer plain.
The shelter in Ramskapelle was one of these constructions on that line and can be recognised by the bas-relief of a cross on the back of the building.
