'Le Klockhuis d’Eecke' is a rare wooden bell tower next to the Saint-Wulmar church. This tower houses two bells that used to announce church services, village events and the emergency signal. Together with the one in Hardifort, this is the last of its kind in French Flanders, a unique stop for those who love heritage.

Wooden bell tower in the cemetery next to the Sint-Wulmark church. It contains two bells, which were once used to announce church services and village events.
The tower was built in 1661-1662, initially against the front of the church. Because the wooden construction posed a fire risk to the church, the tower was moved about 20m in 1783.
The bell house is, together with that of Hardifort, the last remaining in French Flanders of once six of its kind.
