Zwaanhoek Nature Reserve
Highlight • Natural
The Zwaanhoek is bordered in the north by the Ghent-Oostende railway, in the east and southeast by the Nieuwpoort-Plassendale canal and in the southwest and west by the connecting road with many ribbon developments, Oudenburg-Zandvoorde. The area is bisected by a highway.
Shallow excavations and clay extraction in the past have created a varied area with meadows, ditches and swamps. The Zwaanhoek is a typical low-lying basin. The drainage of the area is fairly isolated.
There are many former clay extraction sites within this sub-area. The salt influence is currently everywhere in the subsurface, but often just too deep to be clearly expressed in many current depressions.

Sint-Clemens Church Klemskerke
Highlight • Religious Site
History:
The oldest written document found about Klemskerke dates back to 1003, where the place is mentioned as "Clemeskirca": church of Cleme. The protected church is located on the eastern edge of this centuries-old polder village, in the middle of a walled churchyard bordered by hedges and pollard willows. It is a three-aisled hall church crowned by an octagonal tower.
The current Sint-Clemenskerk dates back to a 13th-14th century church building, of which the side choirs and the lower sections of the tower (14th century) have been preserved. As a result of the devastating passage of the iconoclasts during the last quarter of the 16th and the first quarter of the 17th century, the western part of the nave was demolished. As a result, the original crossing tower, the facade tower of the church, was destroyed.
The church had already been almost completely restored in the middle of the 17th century. The spire was then damaged by lightning three times. It was restored each time, the last time in 1770, because it was an important beacon for fishermen at sea.
