Ruins of the Nieuwe Sint-Anna Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

In the meantime, the church has been restored, renovated and converted into a unique event location with a public lookout post on the roof, designed by DMOA architects.
The chapel is now accompanied by a ‘vestibule’ in the form of a concrete sculpture. This hidden staircase with Escher-like allure leads the visitor past panoramic scenes to the top. On the roof, between the facades of the chapel, a magnificent view of the region unfolds. From here you get an unprecedented perspective of the Meikensbossen and the Poelberg. If you look closely, you can even spot the church towers of Marialoop and Dentergem. (source: Westtoer - Horizon 2025)
Another fun fact: The neo-Gothic Sint-Anna chapel was built in 1864, but was never consecrated for unclear reasons.

War Memorial Oeselgem

Highlight • Monument

Oeselgem has three war memorials just a few dozen meters apart. This plaque on the church wall does not honor victims of both world wars, but the Oeselgem residents who served in Napoleon's army and died in the Napoleonic wars from 1803 to 1815.
