    The green center of Erpe-Mere, with a (fish) pond, a culture house that overlooks it, a sports center, the town hall and walking paths through the forest.

    The current view only dates from 2017, but the name "Steenberg" points to a piece of history, as can be read on the municipality's website:
    The centuries-old name Steenberg refers to the white natural stone in the core of Erpe-Mere's highest point. It was only at the beginning of the 20th century that sandstone was mined here on a large scale. The stones are used in the restoration of various churches and in the construction of prestigious projects such as the Ghent Sint-Pieters station. After 15 years, the exploitation of stone stops. On the site of the new Culture House, in the far left corner, several mega stones are still waiting fruitlessly for a Walloon stone cutter.


    In 1952, activity restarted and sand was extracted at full speed. This is necessary for the construction of the E40. These works create the large pond that forms the heart of the Steenberg domain
