The Statieput in Eernegem, also known as the Stationsvijver, is a historical pond located in Eernegem. This pond was originally dug as a water reservoir for the railways and has a surface area of approximately 5 hectares with a depth of approximately 2.40 meters. The water was previously used for the boilers of steam locomotives and sent to Ostend via pipes. The pond was enlarged in the 1920s and has retained its current shape ever since.

The Christiaen brewery-malthouse originally dates from the 1790s. The Christiaen industrial complex got its current appearance around 1878. The malt tower and the slender chimney dominate the view of this brewery. Beer was brewed until 1968. The brewery was one of the largest employers in Koekelare.

This former brewery was once a beer paradise, but was transformed from an industrial building into cultural heritage with respect for the past: the former malt loft is now the Käthe Kollwitz Museum. The brewery's outbuildings (horse stables, hop cellar & storage space) are now home to the Fransmansmuseum and the distillery has been converted into the Yves Rhayé room, a tribute to the sculptor and painter. You will also find several works of art there, including those by Willem Vermandere.

Beautiful piece of nature in Eernegem. Small, but nice.
