Hiking

After the First World War, the castle was rebuilt in Norman style. Since 1982 the domain has been opened as a walking area. In 2004 the "Memorial Museum Passchendaele" was opened here. The visitor goes through the 5 strokes at Ypres. One can walk in a German trench or descend into a 6m deep British dugout with communication and first aid station, headquarters and sleeping quarters.
