Within a stone's throw of each other, in the region around Poperinge, there are two churches dedicated to Saint Martin, namely the church in Haringe and the church in Roesbrugge. However, the history of both churches is far apart. The church in Roesbrugge is a lot younger than the church in Haringe. No remains of the first 15th century mentions of the chapel have been preserved. The hall church, built in the 17th-18th century, had to replace the chapel. The church suffered serious damage once in its existence, during the Second World War. Several memorial plaques hang on the left outer wall of the church. A number also commemorate the First World War. During the First World War, the church tower served as a receiving and transmitting post for communication via telegraph and telephone.

St. Martin's Church, Haringe

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sint-Martinuskerk in Haringe is a historic parish church dating back to the 11th-12th century. The church has a rich history and has undergone several fires and renovations. The current church is a late Gothic brick hall church with a crossing tower made of iron sandstone. The interior contains baroque elements, including paintings, statues and an impressive organ from 1778. The church is an important cultural heritage and still hosts summer organ concerts.

Highlight • Monument

During the summer, Watouplein is the center of the Watou Arts Festival. You will find, among other things, Roger Raveel's Claus monument. Raveel donated this work to Watou as a lasting remnant of his summer “Poetry around Roger Raveel” in 1993.

Sint-Bavokerk Watou

Highlight • Religious Site

The current hall church is a 16th century Gothic-style conversion of the original Romanesque church from the second half of the 12th century. The brick part of the nave and the lower part of the tower are remains of the old church.

The pseudo-Romanesque gable with rose window and part of the octagonal crossing tower are 19th century.

In the church you will find the mausoleums of the first counts of Watou, Karel van Ydeghem (+ 1630) and Maria van Cortewyle and of the mystic Karel Grimminck (1676-1728).
The church has been a protected monument since 1939.

The Golden Eagle

Highlight • Pub

Here you will be welcomed with great enthusiasm by Sam. Please note that it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. In Roesbrugge, a 'hop shoot' from France, the artisanal brewery Werbrouck is located. Their beer is brewed according to ancient brewing methods with their own recipes. The brewery was founded in early 2018 by brewer Conrad, son Sam and his wife Lien. The beers are brewed with 100% Poperinge hops.
In their brasserie De Gouden Arend you can taste their delicious beers and recently also several of their Poperinge gins.
