Esquelbecq

Highlight • Settlement

This village, bisected by the Yser in the middle of the French Westhoek, is typically Flemish with its Grand Place, surrounded by brick houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, and its large church. The blond and dark Esquelbecq beers are brewed here.

Château d'Esquelbecq

Highlight • Castle

The Castle with its feudal charm, restored in 0606, with its dovecote (1606), gatehouse, farm (housing the Maison du Westhoek) and bailiff's house (1615), still looks exactly like the print by Sanderus (Flandria Illustrata, 1641). Only the watchtower collapsed in 1984. The stepped gables and towers are reflected in the water of the moats, fed by the Ijzer. Walk along the moat to the gatehouse and the stables.

A beautiful walk, straight through the fields with flax, potatoes, grains and vegetables. Super beautiful and quiet.
