    Tips

    The King Albert Dike was constructed after the flood of 1928-1929 to keep the village centres of Kastel, Moerzeke and also the area around Broekstraat in Hamme free of flooding. The King Albert Dike did this for Kastel on 1 February 1953 and would repeat that feat – albeit with difficulty – in 1976. At present, the importance of that inner dike (the sleeper in jargon) is somewhat underestimated.

      A historic location for the battle against the rising water.

      On August 30, 1930, the capstone (crossover) was inaugurated by King Albert of the Belgians.
