Grandparents Lucrèse and Patrick are having their two grandchildren immortalized as a mural by Ghent street artist Jamz of the Wallin' collective.
Patrick De Poortere: "Our two grandchildren are walking hand in hand into the woods, towards the future, towards the sun, and on a branch, two pigeons—that's us—are watching them and keeping an eye on things."

Zwalmmolen

Highlight • Monument

The first time the Zwalmmolen appeared in the history books was in 1227, when it was still the property of St. Peter's Abbey in Corbie. Originally, the mill mainly processed wheat, linseed, chicory, corn, rice and even tobacco.
This traditional water mill drew its power from the Zwalmbeek, which with its current propelled an impressive technical system in the interior. A fine example of craftsmanship that is almost a millennium old. However, the Zwalmmolen is not the only mill in the area.

IJzerkot Mill

Highlight • Monument

The mill from the 15th century has been grinding flour again since 2021, from which bread is baked in the bakery opposite. You can taste it in the tavern, where only local meat, fish and vegetables are served alongside local beers and organic wines.

Still hungry? Restaurant Ter Swaelm, one door down, is famous for its ribs and côte a l'os.

Ter Biestmolen

Highlight • Monument

Hofstede Ter Biest is an attractive B&B for a moment of relaxation or a surprising discovery of the Zwalm region, one of the most beautiful parts of the Flemish Ardennes. You will stay in the main building of an eighteenth century square farm with a characterful appearance.
