Former Rectory, Monastery, and School of Poesele

Highlight • Historical Site

Two facade stones on either side of the door read: "J.F. Demulder, mayor 1845" and "J.F. Liedts, pastor 1845." The rectory of Poesele was built to a design by priest-architect Jan-August Clarysse, who also designed the church (1850) and former boys' school (1854) in Beentjesstraat. In 1909, Father De Roo donated half of his rectory garden to the construction of a convent and girls' school by the Sisters of Saint Vincent de Paul. The convent closed in 1969, and the school closed in 1988 (and is now a private residence). The rectory was closed in 2000.

't Goed te Varezele

Highlight • Historical Site

A farmstead bearing a nameplate seems to claim a long history. This isn't always true; some names are relatively recent additions, but this farmstead, "'t Goed te Varezele," certainly has a centuries-old history:

The Lordship of Varezele or Varizele was dependent on the fief of Nevele and was first mentioned in 1460. As early as the 17th century, it was a double farmstead with two houses, two barns, and two stables.
This double farmstead is still recognizable today, albeit with a very different appearance: the farmstead on the street side (no. 19) has been almost completely renovated, but behind it are buildings, some of which—the transverse barn and the stables with a small alcove chapel—exude their age (over 180 years old). The facade of the house was, however, renovated in 1963.

Poekebeek in Nevele

Highlight • River

The Poekebeek, which originates in Tielt and flows through Ruiselede, Poeke (naturally!), Lotenhulle, Vinkt, and Poesele, passing through Nevele, was part of the former headwaters of the Durme River. It has a catchment area of approximately 11,000 hectares and flows into the Schipdonk Canal. Before this canal existed, the Poekebeek flowed further north via Landegem and Merendree to Vinderhoute, in what is now called the Oude Kale, and then on via Evergem, Lokeren, and Waasmunster to Hamme, where it flowed into the Scheldt as the Durme River.

Hof ter Motte

Highlight • Rest Area

In a walking area where you will hardly come across a shop or café, a drinks and ice cream vending machine (where you can also get vegetables, but you are probably not likely to take these with you as a walker) is a welcome stop.

Saint Lawrence Church, Poesele

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Lawrence Church, deconsecrated since 2023.
The earliest mention of the church in Poesele dates from 1121. The current church was built between 1850 and 1854 by contractor Francies De Moor from Ghent, based on plans by priest-architect Jan-August Clarysse. The church was damaged in April 1878 when a lightning strike caused a fire in the church tower. On October 18, 1918, the Germans blew up the tower during their retreat. At the rear of the church wall is a tombstone dating from 1555, belonging to the Poesel bailiff Gheerolf De Ruuter and his wife.
The neo-Gothic furnishings in the church date from the period 1870-1880. The organ, built in 1870 by Louis Lovaert (Nevele), was classified by Royal Decree of August 19, 1980. The church still features sculptures by Blondijn Van Haver (Poesele) and a confessional by Frans Daens (Hansbeke). The polychrome murals in the choir are by the Nevels artist Theodoor Janssens (born in 1870). The organ was designated a protected monument in 1980.
