Three border markers...
Retranchement is located on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium.
The Triplets of Retranchement are three border markers with the same number: 364. The middle of the three marks the border. The village is located on the Zwin and when the piles were placed, water still flowed through it. It was therefore difficult to determine exactly where the border lay. Three posts were placed.

Without knowing it, you are walking here on the border between the Netherlands and Belgium. During your passage, you will become acquainted with ‘De Drieling van Retranchement’. These are three border posts with the same number: 364. The middle one of the three indicates the border. The village is located on the Zwin and at the time the posts were placed, water still flowed through here. That is why it was difficult to determine where exactly the border was. Three posts were placed.
