Tips
Old records of Ypres go back to the 11th century as "Iprensis" and "Ipera". The name would come from the river Ieperlee, formerly called Ypres. It was a founded city that industrialized early and grew into the third city of the county of Flanders, but then experienced a decline. The cloth industry collapsed. During the First World War, the Ypres was on the frontline and was razed to the ground. A historicizing reconstruction was chosen that revived the city. In the 21st century, Ypres attracts tourism from home and abroad.
