Statue in memory of the military victims of the First World War. The kneeling soldier has a laurel wreath in his hand. The statue is by the hand of sculptor G. De La Fontaine and was inaugurated on 23 August 1925. Three memorial plaques are also built into the cemetery wall behind the statue. One reads "O Sacred Heart, remember our brave sons. Reward their heroic struggle and remain as king enthroned by the people devoted to you. Ad 23 Harvest 1925"

Three-aisled hall church built in the 15th century, after the conversion of a 12th-century church in the core. In 1566, the building was destroyed by iconoclasts. About half a century later, it was restored. The church was also seriously damaged in both world wars and in 1954 it was ravaged by a fire. During the restoration in 1981-1983, the neo-Gothic additions were removed and excavations were carried out. Source: https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/51792

The Roeselare-Leie Canal is a shipping canal between the city of Roeselare and the Leie River at Wielsbeke. It is 16.5 kilometers long. Via the Leie River, it connects the port of Roeselare with the ports of Dunkirk, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, and Liège. Dug between 1862 and 1872, it provided significant employment. Ships loaded (up to 600 tons for the port of Roeselare) with grain, sand, and other commodities sailed up the canal to supply the businesses along its banks. As of 2020, the canal transported more than 4 million tons of goods annually. Source: Wikipedia

Imposing mansion in neo-Gothic style from 1898 (see facade stone) - extended in 1930 - designed by Carlos Beyaert (Izegem). In the facade - which is currently in scaffolding - the rich use of materials is striking, such as the stained glass panels, faience tiles, wrought iron balcony. According to the Heritage Inventory, the interior is also very richly decorated and probably served as a showcase of the architect's craftsmanship.

Step inside the church. It contains a few special elements, including the stained glass windows in the choir and side choirs (1902); altarpiece with three bas-reliefs, a 19th century Pieta in polychrome pine; an organ from 1926 (above the door with stained glass window).
