This is one of the entrance gates to the castle grounds.

Hiking

The Poeke castle grounds were originally laid out according to the "seven-star" principle: seven avenues formed a star, centered on the axis of the castle's rear facade, extending to the rear of the park. The avenues were restricted after 1872. The areas converted to arable land were also reforested during this period. However, the avenue leading towards Lotenhulle is still clearly recognizable. It leads to this Lotenhulle-facing (hence the "Lootse") gate.
