St Amandus Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The first mention of a church on this site dates back to 1105, and its patronage was granted to the Abbey of St. Martin in Tournai. In 1581, the choir was damaged by iconoclasts.
A three-aisled late-Gothic hall church was built around 1618. It had an octagonal crossing tower. In 1787, the church was significantly altered. A semicircular apse was added on the west side, the entrance was moved to the area of the crossing tower, and the old choir was converted into a porch. This reversed the church's orientation.
In 1849, a major alteration took place, with the old crossing tower and the old choir being demolished, while the three naves were lengthened by 17 meters.
This is how the current St. Amandus Church came into being.
Inside, four 18th-century paintings hang: Descent from the Cross; Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus; Baptism of Christ and Adoration of the Shepherds.
The pulpit dates from 1750. There are 17th-century and 18th-century confessionals.

Highlight • Monument
The war memorial on the village square of Gullegem commemorates the victims of both world wars. It features a statue of a "Victory Goddess" wearing a Belgian helmet and a later added memorial plaque for the soldiers who fell in May 1940. The memorial was unveiled in 1920 and restored in 2003.

Transverse Barn of 't Goet te Wynckele
Highlight • Historical Site
This historic barn is currently available for rent for parties, outdoor activities, exhibitions, and concerts, primarily suitable for summer activities. It has a capacity of 200 people.
The barn has a very long history:
It is the barn of the former "Goed te Wynckele," owned by the Guldenberg Abbey. The oldest mention of this barn dates back to 1227, when Rogier van Wynckele sold the Goed ten Wynckele to the Guldenberg Abbey in Wevelgem.
Depicted on a figurative map from 1624, the gatehouse, house, and barn are clearly visible. The farm was one of the largest the abbey owned at the time of its abolition.
Various parts of the farm were rebuilt in the 18th century, when the abbey was flourishing. The barn was built in 1732 (see the date in the gable) under Abbess Peutermans. Indicated on the Ferraris map (1770-1778) as a fully walled farmstead, as well as on the Atlas of Local Roads (1843).
Only the barn remains. The other farm buildings were demolished in the 1980s. The barn was restored in 1994-1995.

Bergelen Provincial Domain
Highlight • Natural
The Bergelen Provincial Estate in Wevelgem developed around a 10-hectare artificial sand extraction pit. The sand was used for the construction of the E403 (A17) motorway in the early 1970s. The municipality purchased this pit and surrounding land between 1989 and 1995. Various planting activities and numerous management works (reprofiling the banks, creating a water berm, building observation huts and walls, creating walking paths, constructing a bat shelter, digging ponds, etc.) were carried out by the municipal council. This created a small but very interesting nature reserve.
In 1996, the farm and the 29 hectares of surrounding agricultural land were purchased by the province, and large parts of the newly acquired area were afforested.
In 1999, the province entered into a lease with the municipality for the management of the Bergelen pit and its surroundings. This created the Bergelen Provincial Estate, which currently covers an area of 47 hectares. The Heulebeek stream flows along and through the estate, still following a largely natural course there.
You'll also find the Bulskamphoeve, first mentioned in Gullegem in 1549. It's a historic farmstead whose horseshoe-shaped buildings are situated within the ramparts. The farmstead was destroyed several times during wartime and subsequently rebuilt or renovated. The current building is believed to date from 1775.
A protected monument, the Meiboom, also stands in the area. This is a group of six lime trees with a large iron cross in the center.

Bergelenput
Highlight • Lake
A special place that is definitely worth a visit. The Bergelenput is a former gravel pit, which has been transformed into a nature reserve over the years. The water in the pits and the surrounding grounds have developed into a valuable nature reserve, making it an ideal place for various species of animals and plants. The area is managed with care, and is home to numerous water birds and amphibians.

Bulscamp Farm
Highlight • Historical Site
What is now Brasserie Bergelen was formerly known as the "Bulscamphoeve" or "'t Hof van Hanssens," situated in the plain formed by sedimentary deposits from the Heulebeek stream.
It is a moated farmstead, the oldest mention of which dates back to 1549. It is indicated on the Ferraris map (1770-1778) as a fully moated farmstead with detached buildings and a U-shaped layout. On the Atlas of Local Roads (1843), it is expanded to five volumes and presumably a gatehouse.
The current, extensively renovated building stock is believed to date from 1775.
