1863年、コンinck・デ・メルケム男爵はブランカルトの邸宅を取得しました。そこに城が建てられ、イギリス式の城公園が整備されました。 コンinck・デ・メルケム男爵は1895年に亡くなり、妻が城を含む全財産を相続しました。 城は第一次世界大戦中にひどく損傷し、ファサードしか残っていませんでした。1922年に、より小さな規模で再建されました。城公園は元の状態には戻されませんでした。 第二次世界大戦中、城の屋根は破壊されました。2つの円形塔の円錐形の胸壁は復元されませんでした。夫の死後、所有者は城を再建し、1959年に息子のイニシアチブである「Volkshogeschool de Blankaart」に提供しました。 この邸宅は1978年に自然保護区に指定されました。

Tyne Cot Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in the world, located near Passchendaele. It was established in October 1917 and contains over 11,000 graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. The site was strategically important during the Battle of Passchendaele and was used as an advanced dressing station after its capture by the 3rd Australian Division on 4 October 1917. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and includes an impressive Cross of Sacrifice, built on a former German bunker. The cemetery was significantly expanded after the Armistice to include graves from nearby battlefields and smaller cemeteries.

A poignant anecdote about Tyne Cot Cemetery concerns the father and son, Lieutenant Colonel Harry Moorhouse and Captain Ronald Moorhouse. Both served with the 4th Battalion, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, and were killed within an hour of each other during the Third Battle of Ypres. Harry Moorhouse was seeking medical attention for his badly wounded son when he himself was killed. Their bodies were never recovered, but their names are immortalised on the Tyne Cot Memorial.

Car-free, picturesque asphalt road along the Ieperlee.

A really beautiful cycle path. Highly recommended.

There are a total of four lookout towers in the Blankaart. This one here is the highest: 10m. It overlooks the reed marshes and the wet hay fields. The inspiration for the design of the viewpoints comes from the reed marshes. Just as the bittern blends with its tall figure into the reeds, the towers blend into the open space of the Blankaart, while at the same time they are beacons in the landscape. The rising walls with sloping elements, openings and green plexiglass refer to the reed collars in which birds can hide and which still have a certain transparency.
