School of Saint Vincentius Onledemolen

Highlight • Historical Site

This school building, renovated in 1931, catches the eye because of the large crucifix against the gable on the street side. The inscription reads: "Blessed cross Christi Onledemolens Volk cheers for you".
The school is also known as "the school of Onledemolen". Onledemolen is the hamlet of Gits that leans against the border with Beveren, a sub-municipality of Roeselare.
