    Tips

    The first version of the decoy was built in the fourteenth century and was probably the oldest known duck decoy in Europe and therefore a model for similar decoys in other countries.
    An information board on site (see also photos) clearly explains how ducks were caught.
    To get to the duck decoy, you have to take a dead-end side road on the Oude Schelde. Definitely worth it, not only because of the duck decoy, but also because of the peace that this place exudes.

      The origin of this duck decoy dates back to the early 14th century. It is part of the Marnix castle domain of Sint-Aldegonde.
