Spanish Toll House

Highlight • Cafe

The tiny Spanish Toll House along the towpath from Plassendale to Bruges was once the gateway to a sturdy 17th century fort. This guarded the old Plassendale lock. Guardhouse for Spanish soldiers; residence of the commander; toll office; inn; house of the lock masters. Now it is a resting place for cyclists. Only open from April to October, Saturday and Sunday.
