Fintele lock is a lock and spillway located in Fintele, a hamlet in Pollinkhove, Lo-Reninge. It is located at the confluence of the Lovaart and the Yser. During the First World War, Fintele was close to the front, but was not badly damaged. In World War II, just before the capitulation of May 1940, the lock was blown up by the Belgians for tactical reasons. It was completely rebuilt in 1943.
