    The statue 'De Flandrien' at the Sint-Bavokerk in Kanegem was unveiled in 2019. The statue illustrates Briek Schotte, or 'Iron Briek'. The statue is made of iron and is about 1.80 meters high. At the monument there are three panels that depict three phases in the life of Briek Schotte.

    Briek Schotte took part in the Tour of Flanders 20 times and won this Flemish classic in 1942 and 1948. He became world champion in 1948 and 1950, took part in the Tour de France four times, finishing second in 1948.
