Diksmuide gives you breathing space. Discover the historic center and the traces of the tragic war years. The First World War has a lasting impact on Diksmuide. This is reflected in the well-known sites and cemeteries. Did you know that you also have a unique panoramic view from the roof terrace of the IJzertoren.

Apart from the horrors of war, you would forget that Diksmuide has been the Butter City for centuries. Everything runs smoothly here.

In addition to the Yser Tower, Trench of Death, etc., the center of Diksmuide is also worth a visit. Pleasant market square, especially when the weather is nice and sunny. And "t Manneke uit de Mane: This sculpture refers to the folk almanac that was published under this name from 1881 by "De Swighende Eede" (1880), a secret society of West Flemish flamingos under the inspiring drive of Hugo Verriest. Priest Alfons Van Hee was editor-in-chief of this almanac from its founding until his death in 1903.

Gilded sculpture from 1978 after a design by sculptor Adhemar Vandroemme (Ypres) on a pedestal with the inscription: "1881 ALFONS VAN HEE AND DE SWIGHENDE EEDE 1881". Depiction of a little boy reading the almanac under the crescent moon.
