't Lisseweegs Vaartje (Lissewege Canal)

In the 13th century, this ancient waterway was dug to connect Lissewege and Bruges. That link was crucial to the supply of Tournai bluestone to build the church. The Ter Doest monks also made regular use of the Lissewege Canal. It was their trade route to Bruges. Of all the photogenic spots in Lissewege, this idyllic picture takes the prize anyway.
