St. Peter's Church Steenvoorde

Highlight • Other

The church has a turbulent history, because it fell victim to the Beeldenstorm in 1566, burned down in 1576, was destroyed by the French in 1644 and was rebuilt in late Gothic style from 1660-1664. The tower is from 1712 and the brick spire was built in 1890-1891. In May 1940 the church was again badly damaged. In 1950 it was restored.

Moulin de la Roome

Highlight • Monument

Le Moulin de la Roome is a small village. In Dutch 'rooome' means room of cows in the meadow (the mill is located in the middle of a meadow landscape). The restaurant is in fact an old restored farm, next to the mill de la Roome. Rustic interior, simple, but stylish. In the hall of the restaurant is explained how the mill was reconstructed. You can visit the mill on Sunday from 15:30 to 17:30 (€2 for adults, €1.5 for children). Traditional regional dishes.

Sint-Maartenskerk Terdeghem

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sint-Maartenskerk in Terdegem has some striking architectural features.
Romanesque tower: The church has a Romanesque tower dating from the 12th century. This tower is built of iron sandstone and has a square ground floor. The spire, covered with slates, was added later.
Three-aisled hall church: The current structure of the church is a three-aisled hall church from 1664. This means that the church has three equally high naves, which together form a spacious and open interior.
Tombstones and interior: Inside the church you will find tombstones from 1505 and 1596. The church also has an 18th-century pulpit and a wrought-iron baptismal font gallows, which further emphasizes the richness of the interior. Stations of the Cross: The Stations of the Cross in the church were made by sculptor Puyenbroek and were originally intended for the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels.

Chapel of the Three Virgins

Highlight • Other

The history of the chapel goes back to a legend according to which the three pious daughters of King Kewulf of the kingdom of Wessex, named Edith, Elfrieda and Sabina, received the calling in 851 to go on a pilgrimage to the grave of Peter and Paul. They came ashore at Mardijk and followed the Roman highway, then already known as Steenstraete. Near the present-day Kaaster they were attacked in a forest by a gang and brutally murdered. At that moment a blind knight, the lord of Strazele, who was staying not far from there, had a vision of the Holy Virgin who directed him to the scene of the crime, where he had to wash his eyelids with the blood of the victims. He did so and thus regained his sight. In gratitude he had the chapel built on the scene of the crime. Since then many pilgrims have come to this place, where there was a mausoleum of the three virgins. At the end of the 15th century, several children were said to have come back to life thanks to their intercession.
