Saint-Acaire Wood
Highlight • Other
In the local dialect and on old maps, this forest is also often called the Sint-Achaarsbosch.
The name refers to Saint Acharius (Saint-Accaire), a 7th-century bishop who was venerated in this region (the old diocese of Tournai-Noyon).
The name of the village itself literally means "the church in the wood (forest)". The Sint-Ackaarsbos is one of the last remnants of the large forests that formerly covered this part of the French Westhoek.

't Duvelskapelletje
Highlight • Other
The story goes back to 1768 when a farmer, perhaps somewhat drunk, reportedly came face to face with the devil around midnight. The farmer managed to escape and escaped unscathed. Another version claims that the devil lived here and targeted a farmer who always had to pass this spot in the evenings. The farmer was so frightened that he always had to take a long detour to avoid it.
Finally, the farmer decided to have a chapel built on this spot and place it under the protection of Our Lady. This was done, and the devil refused to budge.
The chapel is located not far from Katsberg. Through the grille in the front door, one can see a statue of Mary with a pale, frightened face. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duivelskapel
Popularly known as the Devil's Chapel or chapel to ward off fear.
