Learn about the history of the city through its monuments
The city's main monuments can be admired during a pleasant stroll through the streets of Eeklo. Fill your vacation album with photos of the impressive architecture of the town hall, the church of Saint-Vincent and the Huysmanhoeve museum.
The town hall was rebuilt in the Flemish Renaissance style after a fire in the 17th century. A medieval bell tower, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, adorns the building. The Gothic church of Saint-Vincent, dating from 1878, towers over the city with its 100-meter-high tower. Climb to the top of the tower to enjoy an excellent panorama of Eeklo. Finally, the Huysmanhoeve museum, which dates back to the 17th century, houses collections that tell the story of Meetjesland.
The charming sculptures adorning the town of Eeklo are also well worth a visit. In particular, you will find the statues of Eeklose Herb Akker and Lotjen, which tell a legend about the creation of the town. Three other statues honor famous men in Flemish culture. The sculptures of Lagae, Drummer of Achiel Pauwels and Big's Cup represent a poet, a singer and a writer respectively.
Enjoy the Eeklo landscapes through fun activities
The town of Eeklo is certainly distinguished by its cultural richness. However, its natural environment is just as appealing.

Water sports enthusiasts can enjoy pedalos and canoes.
Hikers will have a great time on the trails in the forest area of the provincial domain Het Leen. Enjoy its diverse landscapes with fish-filled ponds, meadows and tall shafts. This is a perfect opportunity to observe the flora and fauna of the Flemish region!
