In 1491, the construction of the Rabot was completed. The reinforced lock lay at the intersection of the Lieve with the city moat. The Lieve, on its side, provided the connection with the Zwin, which had not yet silted up, and further with the sea. In 1860, the brick wing facing the city was demolished. In 1872, the street level was raised and the Lieve was closed off. In the meantime, Ghent had long since had other access routes to the sea.

Poeke Castle boasts nearly 1,000 years of history. This impressive, eclectic, rococo-style castle in Aalter has been home to various noble families throughout the centuries; its history itself dates back to the 12th century. Its pale pink facades still sparkle today. The surrounding wooded park, 56 hectares in size, makes the estate a beautiful place for a stroll.

The tree line is beautiful with miles of trees forming an archway. One of the most pleasant rides I have ever done.
