De Poelberg is a 45 meter high hill, a street and a meeting center at almost the same location in the Belgian city of Tielt. You have a beautiful 360 degree view of the surroundings. A cozy restaurant provides the ideal stop during a long bike ride!

Poelbergmolen

Highlight • Monument

The oldest known mention of the Poelberg mill dates from 1668, the current wooden post mill was built in 1726. This date has been found on various mill parts. After the Second World War, the mill was repaired from war damage. A thorough renovation took place in 1957. The mill remained in operation until about 1970. When the mill became city property in 1980, it was in a very dilapidated condition. Restoration work began in 1989, making it ready for grinding again in 1993. To preserve the openness of the area and the wind catch, the surrounding landscape was protected as a village view in 1993.

Ruins of the Nieuwe Sint-Anna Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

In the meantime, the church has been restored, renovated and converted into a unique event location with a public lookout post on the roof, designed by DMOA architects.
The chapel is now accompanied by a ‘vestibule’ in the form of a concrete sculpture. This hidden staircase with Escher-like allure leads the visitor past panoramic scenes to the top. On the roof, between the facades of the chapel, a magnificent view of the region unfolds. From here you get an unprecedented perspective of the Meikensbossen and the Poelberg. If you look closely, you can even spot the church towers of Marialoop and Dentergem. (source: Westtoer - Horizon 2025)
Another fun fact: The neo-Gothic Sint-Anna chapel was built in 1864, but was never consecrated for unclear reasons.

Ginstegrot

Highlight • Religious Site

The Mariagrot in De Ginste was built in 1920 as thanks for Oostrozebeke being spared from war destruction during the First World War. The cave was built with rubble from destroyed buildings in Zonnebeke. The cave was rebuilt thirty meters deeper on the enlarged site in April 1946.

In the month of May, many pilgrims visit the Ginstegrot. However, things were not always so Catholic in De Ginste for a long time. The neighborhood was known as a refuge for rebels. People regularly gathered there to perform black masses. Pastor Bracke presided over these services and was later removed from his position for this.
