    The Balegem stone is a sandstone with warm tones that was used in the 15th and 16th centuries for buildings such as the Genste St. Bavo Cathedral.

    This Balegem stone is placed along the road as a monument.
    There is an information panel near the stone.

    Balegem stone, also sometimes called Ledeian stone (Sand of Lede), is one of the facts you can read on this information board.

    Numerous famous monuments were built from this stone, such as Saint Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent and the Church of Our Lady in Dendermonde.

    A few hundred meters further is the Balegem sand quarry, Balegro.
