Kemmelberg
Highlight • Historical Site
The memorial column on the summit of the Kemmelberg is one of the most important French monuments in the Westhoek. It commemorates the many French soldiers who fought here in April 1918 during the Battle of the Kemmelberg.
The memorial, also known colloquially as ‘Den Engel’, is a 17-meter-high column made of white cement. On the pedestal in front of the column stands the statue of the goddess of victory, Nikè, in Greek attire, with her wings spread against the sides of the column. In each hand, she holds a laurel wreath. The Greek goddess gazes with a mournful look at the mass grave and battlefield below. The sides of the obelisk list the names of the French units deployed here. This column was unveiled on September 18, 1932, in the presence of French generals Lacapelle and Pétain. Around 1970, a lightning strike destroyed the laurel-adorned French helmet on its summit.
