The Celie Bridge was destroyed twice, and rebuilt twice. This iron drawbridge, typical of the Schipdonk Canal, rarely rises. Shipping is not possible here, unlike in the past, when there was a loading dock on the Lieve River. (Mijnplatteland.com)

Pure nature, beautiful here

Beautiful view over the polders and the Zwin, the sea arm between the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Celie Bridge enables the connection between Maldegem and Celie - Sint-Laureins. Celie is an old district on the Lieve in Adegem and Sint-Laureins, already mentioned in the 14th century. Historical explanation: The Schipdonk Canal or the Leie Diversion Canal was dug in the bed of the Lieve. The canal connected the Leie in Deinze with the North Sea in Zeebrugge. As a diversion canal, the canal was mainly intended to limit flooding, but the canal also played an important role as a new trade route between Deinze and Bruges. A first section, from the Leie in Deinze to the Brugse Vaart in Schipdonk in Merendree, was already dug in 1847-49. From Stoktevijver in Zomergem to Maldegem, part of the Leie Diversion Canal was dug in the bed of the Lieve in the period 1854-60. From Maldegem, the canal was dug further parallel to the Leopold Canal to Heist. When the canal was constructed, the old buildings around the Celie Bridge over the Lieve also disappeared. The current Celie Bridge over the Schipdonk Canal is an iron drawbridge, rebuilt after the destruction of the Second World War, according to a design by the Ministry of Public Works from 1947.

The canal with many names: officially it is called the ‘Afleidingskanaal van de Leie’, it is often called the ‘Schipdonkkanaal’ or ‘Kanaal van Schipdonk’ and in common parlance people sometimes dare to speak of the ‘Stinker’. The latter name refers to the heavily polluted water in the canal as a result of flax retting in the Leie. It was precisely because of that polluted water that a siphon was built to prevent dirty water from flowing into the Ghent-Bruges canal. The ‘Goed van Schipdonck’ near this junction is said to have given the canal its name. History To prevent flooding with polluted water from the Leie in Ghent, a new canal was dug upstream. The digging (1846-1860) of the Schipdonkkanaal was one of the first major infrastructure works in the young Belgium. The canal played an important role during both world wars, with the Battle of Ronsele (October 1918) and the Battle of the Leie (May 1940) as the main events in Lievegem.
