The Watten mill was built in the 18th century on the site of a bastion. It has been restored and in the summer the blades turn as before.

On the hills are also the ruins of an abbey (private property) with a square Gothic tower. The esplanade in front of the abbey entrance offers a view of the gorge formed by the Aa (canal, railway) and the Forêt Domaniale d'Eperlecques.

The Mont de Watten is the westernmost extension of the West Flemish Hills. With its 72m it dominates the Aa valley and the Flemish plain. Turenne used the hill as a lookout post for the battle of Dunkirk (1658) and much later the German general Guderian, strategist of the Blitzkrieg, did the same (1940). The Watten mill was built in the 18th century on the site of a bastion. It has been restored and in the summer the blades turn again as before. On the hills are also the ruins of an abbey (privately owned) with a square Gothic tower. The esplanade in front of the entrance to the abbey offers a view of the gorge formed by the Aa (canal, railway) and the Forêt Domaniale d'Eperlecques.

Broxeele's Manneken Pis was given to him by the City of Brussels thirty years ago. The reason: the common etymology of the two cities.
