1930년부터 딕스뮈더(Diksmuide)의 그로테 마르크트(Grote Markt)에는 딕스뮈더(Diksmuide)의 옛 전선을 바라보는 자크 드 딕스뮈더(Jacques de Dixmude) 장군 남작 동상이 서 있습니다. 이 동상은 논란의 여지가 있습니다. 한편으로는 1914-1918년 전쟁 중 딕스뮈더(Diksmuide) 교두보 방어에서의 공로로 큰 인정을 받았습니다. 당시 자크 장군은 알베르 1세 국왕에 의해 남작으로 임명되었고 그의 이름에 "드 딕스뮈더(de Dixmude)"라는 문구를 추가할 수 있는 허가를 받았습니다. 다른 한편으로는 레오폴드 2세 국왕의 명령으로 콩고 자유국에서 복무했습니다. 이 시기는 콩고 자유국 통치의 잔혹성에 기여한 것으로도 알려져 있어 매우 논란이 많습니다.

성곽과 주변 지역이 현재 복원 중입니다. 이미 훌륭해 보이며, 미래에는 환상적일 것입니다. 아주 멋진 작은 식당과 무료 화장실도 있습니다.

very impressive monument and museum. Must see if in the area

The monastery was founded in 1492, at the initiative of Canon de Vooght of the Saint Walburga Chapter of Veurne, and Sister Maria Poret, the first superior. A house and property were purchased on Zuidstraat in Lo in 1493. Emperor Maximilian I granted permission in 1493 to build a small chapel, refectory, dormitory, and tower with a clock. The monks were initially present in Lo to combat the plague. The tower sparked a conflict between the provost of the provostry (later to become Saint Peter's Abbey) and the Grey Sisters. The provost considered the tower too high. This led to a lawsuit, in which the judges ruled that the sisters could keep their tower unchanged if they presented the provost with two chickens each year at Easter. The tower was renovated in 1560, destroyed in 1579, and rebuilt on a smaller scale. Besides expansions in the 16th and 17th centuries, the convent also suffered damage and destruction during religious unrest in the same period. A low point was the confiscation in 1798 by the French revolutionaries. A confidant of the sisters, former mayor J.B. Ryon, bought up the undeclared goods so that the sisters could repurchase them after the Concordat. The Grey Sisters founded a school in 1763, and in response to the establishment of a municipal school, they started a Catholic boys' school on Zuidstraat in 1836. During the First World War, Lo was shelled by the Germans, and the convent's tower was destroyed. The 17th-century hospital on the east side of the market square was destroyed and never rebuilt. Reconstruction and repairs of the convent followed in 1922-1926, with the tower being raised, modeled on the town hall tower. The west wing has been restored and adapted in a historicist style. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klooster_van_de_Grauwzusters_(Lo)

The old town hall and belfry now serve as a hotel and restaurant. The town hall and belfry have been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1999 as part of the joint registration of a group of 56 belfries in Belgium and France. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadhuis_van_Lo

The Caesarsboom is an old yew tree (also known as poison tree) in the town of Lo in the Belgian Westhoek region. The tree is one of Lo's typical symbols and is located next to the medieval Westpoort gate. The name refers to a legend about Julius Caesar, who is said to have taken a nap under the tree in 55 BC on his way to Britain and tied his horse to it. The story goes back to the historian Jean-Baptiste Gramaye, who was the first to allow Caesar to pass through Lo in 1612. In reality, the Caesarsboom is approximately 250 years old. A painting from the late 18th century depicts its predecessor in full maturity. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesarsboom
