In the IJzer Tower you will find the Museum on the IJzer. It tells the story of the Belgian-German front during World War I through the stories of soldiers, refugees and civilians on both sides of the front.

From the top of the 84 meter high tower you have a wonderful panoramic view over Diksmuide and the Westhoek.

The IJzertoren in Diksmuide is a monument commemorating the Flemish soldiers who died during the First World War. The original tower was built between 1928 and 1930, but was blown up in 1946 because of its association with Flemish nationalist collaboration during the Second World War. The current tower, completed in 1965, is 84 metres high and bears the inscription "Nooit meer oorlog" (No more war) in four languages.
The IJzertoren houses the Museum aan de IJzer (Museum on the IJzer), which focuses on the themes of war, peace and Flemish emancipation. Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the front region from the top of the tower.

Impressive and at the same time oppressive.
Pure history.
