    Tips

    This ice cellar was built in 1875 by J. Matthieu, the castle owner.

    It is a typical ice cellar with an access tunnel, covered with earth and planted with trees.

    The ice cellar used to serve as a cool space for storing food.

    In the winter, blocks of ice were taken from the pond and stacked in the cellar. During the summer, they provided a cold temperature. With the advent of electric refrigerators, the ice cellar lost its importance and became empty.

    Bats need a constant, frost-free temperature and high humidity during their hibernation, as well as sufficient rest. An ice cellar is an ideal solution for this. Zedelgem bought the ice cellar in 1997. It is not accessible.
