Leenwegel

Highlight • Trail

The Leenwegel starts from Landegem as a narrow concrete road and gradually narrows to a concrete path that eventually becomes an unpaved path through the fields.

The first written mention of a church, the rights of which were granted to Drongen Abbey, dates back to 1087. The church was likely rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1121, with Blasius, Livinus, and Margaretha chosen as patron saints.
Ultimately, a three-aisled cruciform church with a crossing tower was constructed in both Romanesque and Gothic styles. The aisles date back to the 15th century. Renovations took place in the 18th century.
At the end of the First World War, the church sustained several heavy hits during fighting around the Schipdonk Canal and was destroyed. It was subsequently rebuilt, and on May 25, 1940, it was blown up by the Belgian army. The force of the explosion was so great that the tower collapsed, leaving the church itself in ruins.
The current church was built between 1955 and 1961.

A beautiful natural area to walk through. It can get slippery here quickly in wet weather, so be careful.

Church of Saints Peter and Paul

Highlight • Religious Site

Situated on a cobbled lawn bordered by lime trees, the former cemetery. First mentioned in 1147. Under the patronage of Drongen Abbey. The original church was completely rebuilt in 1789-93 based on a design by architect Frans Drieghe; several restorations were carried out in the 19th century. The sacristy and choir were built according to plans and a gable stone in 1872 (according to the memorial stone in the portal, 1875) based on a design by J.B. Boterdaele (Ghent). After the destruction of October 19, 1918, the tower was rebuilt, and the facade elevations were adapted and embellished in the Neo-Flemish Renaissance style based on a design by Valentin Vaerwyck in 1922-23. Inside the portal, a marble memorial stone records the most important dates in the church's history.

Hansbeke Rectory

Highlight • Religious Site

The oldest references to a parsonage in Hansbeke date from the mid-16th century. In 1624, a new stone house was built on the site of the old "priestage" south of the church. Expansions and renovations over the centuries led to the current parsonage. Renovations in 1847, in particular, shaped the building's current appearance. Note the two central bays, defined by colossal pilasters. The entrance door has an oval fanlight, and the keystone is decorated with garlands.
