The coach house of the former Huis Van Thuyne

Highlight • Cafe

'Deinzes free café-brasserie Het Koetshuisje do it yourself'. These words hang framed in the coach house of the former Huis Van Thuyne. This stately villa on the Markt in Deinze was demolished except for the facade and replaced by apartments and a day care center of the Sint-Vincentius residential care center, but the coach house was retained. Tony De Gheest, one of the residents of the apartment block, designed the small open building as a meeting place. It's like looking into someone's living room. There are laid tables with chairs, a sofa and cupboards full of crockery. There are carpets on the floor, paintings on the walls and there are also some works of art.

Courtyard houses/Workers' houses

Highlight • Historical Site

Living conditions in these houses were usually pitiful. For example, there was often only one toilet for the entire hatch and water was drawn from one central pump. Most houses consisted of no more than one room. Due to the presence of many residents in a small area and the lack of hygiene, epidemics such as cholera occurred frequently.

Memorial monument

Highlight • Monument

The monument is a work by Geo Vindevogel and commemorates the civilian victims of the Second World War, in particular the civilians who died here on May 25, 1940.
The Battle of the Lys took place in Deinze from 25 to 28 May 1940. In a desperate attempt, the Belgian army wanted to stop the German troops on the Leie and the Schipdonk Canal. On May 25, German troops removed all male residents from the cellars of the houses
on the market. They drove them to the Schipdonk Canal to break the resistance of the Belgian army. There were 38 victims.

Tollgate Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This drawbridge was and still is strategically important. Anyone who passed here had to pay a toll. For this reason, the Count of Flanders had a small fortress built there, which, however, was already destroyed in the Middle Ages. From the 16th century onwards, the residents of Deinzen took control of the drawbridge.
