My heart's Gaume. All my youth in Gaume.

Over a period of 22 years, from 1926 to 1948, a completely new abbey was built based on a design by architect Henri Vaes. This was primarily the work of Ghent native Albert-Marie Van der Cruyssen, who became the first abbot in 1936. On August 20, 1929, the foundation stone was laid in the presence of Prince Leopold and Cardinal Van Roey. The new abbey was completed in 1948. On June 5, 1939, the abbey church was consecrated and elevated to Basilica Minor by Pope Pius XII. On September 8, 1948, the abbey church and the completed cloister were solemnly consecrated by Cardinal Micara, who served as Apostolic Nuncio to Belgium from 1923 to 1946 and subsequently became Prefect of the Congregation for Rites. To finance the major construction projects, which by then had already cost tens of millions of Belgian francs, various fundraising activities were initiated. For example, special postage stamps with a surcharge were issued by the Belgian government. The cheese factory (1931) and the brewery (1932) were established to generate the necessary funds, and laypeople were employed from the outset. After the construction work was completed, these proceeds were used for social and charitable purposes. (Wikipedia)

peaceful and super pretty place

Just before the swamps end, you drive a long stretch over a wooden bridge. It's easy to navigate, and there were no other traffic at all.

At this point, you walk a bit along a wooden walkway through the swamps. It's truly something different.

Taking the descending road, you reach the archaeological and artistic site of Montauban. A lovely, bucolic spot.

The station is located on the Marbehan to Écouviers line and was in operation from 1873 to 1938.

The old Buzenol station is a charming piece of heritage that evokes the region’s former railway history. Surrounded by green forests and peaceful fields, the building is located on an old railway line that now serves as a walking and cycling route. This abandoned station exudes nostalgia and offers a special stop for those who want to experience the rural character and history of the Gaume region.
