About twenty windmills once stood on the summit of the Kasselberg. The last mill caught fire on October 30, 1911, a fire visible from far and wide. In 1947, the Ruytoor mill in Arneke was purchased by the local Syndicat d'Initiative and opened to the public on July 14, 1949. The mill has two distinct functions: it serves as a corn mill, producing organic flour. An electrical unit serves as an oil mill, producing both rapeseed oil and linseed oil. Near the mill is an orientation table and a statue of Maréchal Foch.

Worth seeing monastery ruins.

Welcome to the Flanders Mountains

Founded in 1889, this abbey was built in the Gothic style. Listed as a Historic Monument, it consists of several buildings, including two castles. Today, it is home to around twenty Benedictine nuns of all ages. The monastery is partially open to the public: the abbey church, parlor, and shop are accessible.

This 2.5-kilometer climb is a perfect training ground. Despite an average gradient of 5%, several sections with gradients exceeding 10% make the climb more challenging.

The Ruins of Clairmarais Abbey are a fascinating historical relic in Clairmarais, Hauts-de-France. This abbey was originally founded in 1140 by monks of the Cistercian order, led by Gonfroi, a follower of Bernard of Clairvaux. The abbey was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and was known as a spiritual and agricultural center in the region. Unfortunately, the abbey was dissolved in 1791 during the French Revolution, and only the ruins remain.
