The Westpoort is the only remaining remnant of the old city walls of Lo. She was standing in front of the ramparts, on the inside of the city moat. In front of it was a wooden drawbridge. The ramparts had four entrance gates, but were demolished in 1581-1582. The gate has a turret on either side.

Unique medieval city gate accompanied by an ancient yew tree called Caesarsboom.

The rest of the old city fortifications and an old yew tree grows next to it, to which, according to legend, Caesar tied his horse when he rested here on his journey to Britain.
In Lo there is also the wonderful museum of the Jules Destrooper biscuit bakery.
