Bergues

Highlight • Settlement

Bergues is a small French town near Dunkirk.
Berques became known through the feature film "Welcome to the Schtis" by Danny Boon.
Particularly noteworthy are the fortifications, the city gates, the 5.3 km long city wall and especially the belfry - i.e. the bell tower.

Château d'Esquelbecq

Highlight • Castle

The Castle with its feudal charm, restored in 0606, with its dovecote (1606), gatehouse, farm (housing the Maison du Westhoek) and bailiff's house (1615), still looks exactly like the print by Sanderus (Flandria Illustrata, 1641). Only the watchtower collapsed in 1984. The stepped gables and towers are reflected in the water of the moats, fed by the Ijzer. Walk along the moat to the gatehouse and the stables.

It is an example of Gothic architecture, with a simple but impressive style. The church is located near the ruins of the old Cistercian Abbey of Clairmarais, making it a unique place to explore the history of the region.
