Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Bezoekingkerk (Church of Our Lady of the Visitation)

The Church of Our Lady of the Visitation was erected in Lissewege in the 13th century. The Gothic architecture houses a miraculous statue of Mary (from 1625), a carved rood screen, a striking organ case and an authentic pulpit (from 1652). Climb the 264 steps of the typically truncated tower and you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the polder. In clear weather, you can even see Zeeland!

The tower is part of the Horizon 25 project (website only in dutch), a collaboration between the Province of West Flanders and Westtoer to create new observation towers or make existing buildings accessible to the general public.
