The point was determined via GPS measurements. It is located exactly in the extreme corner of East Flanders, a few meters away from the territory of Sint-Amands near the Lippelobos, but still in Opdorp, a sub-municipality of Buggenhout. The coordinates are: 51° 2′ 16″ N, 4° 14′ 26″ E
In 2003 a monument was placed at this point.
It is only a few tens of meters from the previously determined "three provinces point" (East Flanders, Antwerp and Flemish Brabant).

The geographical center of Flanders is located exactly in the far corner of East Flanders near the border with Sint-Amands. The coordinates are: 51° 2' 16" N, 4° 14' 26" E.
In 2003, a work by the Opdorp sculptor Roger Van Den Eede was placed (approximately) at this point. The farmer preferred not to have the artwork in the middle of his plot, so the statue was placed on the edge a few dozen meters away.
