The village is a hamlet that grew up on and around the Plassendale military fortifications and lock complex, with defining features such as a 17th-century tollhouse, an inn dating from 1868 (according to the inscription) on the bridge over the canal to Ostend, typical 19th-century low-rise buildings on the right bank of the canal to Ostend, and several characteristic 20th-century houses.
