Hiking

The Church of Saint Martin is a picturesque single-aisled church, built in different periods and nominated for the Flemish Monument Award. The oldest part is the tower, built in ironstone from the region during the 13th century. A new entrance was added in 1716 and in 1754 it was raised by a brick storey. The short nave was built in 1761 on a medieval ironstone basement. The Gothic transept dates from the end of the 16th century, while the choir was built around 1600.
