Ronde Kom

The Ronde Kom was dug around 1880.
The Grote Bassin was constructed in 1862 in the bed of the Mandel and the Kleine Bassin in the bed of the Sint-Amandsbeek.
They served for years as water reservoirs for the surrounding textile factories at the time. After the disappearance of the economic function, the sites fell into disrepair.

The Ronde Kom was first tackled and provided with a fountain and new greenery that provides an idyllic backdrop.
The Kleine Bassin was then drained to clear silt and the overgrown vegetation was removed.

At both ends of the basin there is now a stairway with seating structures and an access ramp for wheelchair users and prams. A wooden esplanade just above the water surface allows you to walk around the Kleine Bassin.
