Flax factory located along the old arm of the Leie. In 1936, an artificial retting facility was built at the request of Camiel Declercq, a farmer from Ooigem. A year later, under the same owner, it was expanded with a hangar and scutching facility, which were rebuilt after a bombing raid during World War II.
Concrete retting facility consisting of six and two retting rooms (multi-sided type).
Scutching facility with a concrete frame and red brick construction, with a hangar to the south.
Dust shed on the roof with chimneys.
Preserved brick factory chimney.
