This old church will be restored in the coming years so that it can be used again for cultural purposes.

The mill is now open to the public. If you see the blue flag flying, you can enter. You can also arrange a visit by emailing gavers@west-vlaanderen.be or calling 056 23 40 10.

The Koutermolen is a wooden post mill that stood from the early 19th century until 1982, about 300 meters from its current location. Fate struck twice: in 1892, the mill burned down completely, and in 1917, the Germans demolished the newly constructed mill to build an airfield. After the First World War, the Deerlijk State Mill was moved to the site of the Koutermolen. In 1948, the mill stopped operating and fell into disrepair. The Province of West Flanders purchased it in 1978 for the symbolic sum of one franc with the aim of restoring it and transferring it to the De Gavers Provincial Estate. It was fully restored according to the building plan of the old Koutermolen. The restored Koutermolen was inaugurated on September 19, 1987. Thirty years later, a thorough renovation of the outer shell was again necessary. The mill was fully restored in 2021. The mill was officially opened in April 2022 and stands proudly on its 7-meter-high mound, a guardian of the estate. Source: westvlaanderen.be

Fun to train with the mountain bike.

Relax in nature

At the flood basin you can choose between the 'most walked path' or the 'alternative route' on the other side of the basin. This promises some nice views of the basin... and that's true. Quite muddy, but that's to be expected when walking around a flood basin.

The grave monument of composer Herman Roelstraete (°1925 +1985), honorary citizen of Vichte, can be found against the outer wall.

beautiful view where Stijn Streuvels got his inspiration.
