A very well-maintained cemetery right by the water.

Ramparts Cemetery, Lille Gate is a British military cemetery for the war dead of the First World War, located in the Belgian city of Ypres. The cemetery is situated within the Ypres ramparts, next to the Lille Gate, and covers an area of 1,871 m².

The Rijselpoort (Lille Gate) is a city gate in the Belgian city of Ypres. It is located in the south of the city center, on the road to Lille. The Rijselpoort is the oldest and only preserved city gate from the fourteenth century, connecting two remaining sections of Ypres's fortifications.

The Peace Bridge graces the unique fortifications of Ypres, the City of Peace. A harmonious combination of art, monument, and bridge. The Peace Bridge is a new memorial that inspires reflection. The Peace Bridge balustrade was artistically embellished with the word "PEACE" in 86 languages, using laser engraving. This reflects the 128 countries that fought here during WWI, speaking 86 languages. The use of durable corten steel evokes the reddish-brown of rusted iron. Elegant lighting creates a moving experience. The Peace Bridge is accessible at all times, offering a powerful artistic and multilingual focal point in the landscape that reinforces Ypres' message of peace and makes a clear statement of universal tolerance!

Memorial originally erected for the Wervik military and civilian victims of the First World War. The memorial, designed by Jules Bernaerts, was initially erected on the corner of the church square at the Sint-Medardus Church, at the intersection of Koestraat and Magdalenastraat. The memorial was unveiled on May 13, 1923, during a "Great Military and Patriotic Celebration." After the Second World War, the names of the 12 soldiers from Wervik who fell in 1940 were inscribed on a plaque. The names of six resistance fighters who lost their lives during that war were also inscribed on the plaque. In 1965, the memorial was moved and adapted (the background wall was demolished, the French text was removed, etc.) and a second time in January 1970, to its current location. The statue is two meters high and exceptionally detailed. It depicts a Belgian soldier from the war year of 1918. He is wearing the "cap coat" of the "khaki uniform," the uniform introduced in the Belgian army from 1915 onwards. He is not wearing a headdress, but his head is bandaged. The Belgian "Adrian" helmet hangs on his left hip: the front with the lion's head facing upward. The helmet is deeply scratched at the left front by a bullet. In his left hand, he carries laurel branches as a symbol of honor and victory. The statue shows that this was a hard-fought victory. In his right hand, he holds a rifle.
