Waregem: Sint-Amandus-en-Blasiuskerk
Tucked into the low-lying Flemish plain, Waregem is a place whose character is shaped by the Gaverbeek, the stream that runs through the town. Sint-Amandus-en-Blasiuskerk, Waregem’s parish church, anchors the Markt with its stone tower and pointed-arch windows. The town is widely associated with Waregem Koerse, an annual programme of horse races at Hippodroom Gaverbeek that has secured its place in Belgian equestrian sport. Around the centre, a broad paved square, brick townhouses and civic buildings express the compact, settled character of western Flanders. Parish life, local commerce and the horse-racing tradition all meet in this distinctly local town centre.

The city is also home to Flanders Field American Cemetery and Memorial, where American soldiers of the First World War are commemorated. Waregem combines sporting tradition with the compact, intensely cultivated landscape between Ghent and Kortrijk. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Waregem and Flanders.

Flanders occupies the low-lying northern half of Belgium. Its terrain runs from the North Sea coast and reclaimed polders to fertile river plains, with the Scheldt linking cities and ports before reaching the sea in the Netherlands. Dutch is the principal language, and the region's historic towns retain a strong civic identity: Bruges is known for its medieval centre, while Antwerp developed into one of Europe’s major port cities and a global diamond-trading centre. Flemish painting, lace-making and beer brewing remain central to the cultural story, alongside a contemporary design and food scene.

Belgium occupies a low-lying North Sea coastline and river plain in northwestern Europe. Dutch-speaking Flanders lies largely to the north, while French-speaking Wallonia reaches south towards the wooded Ardennes; Brussels is officially bilingual. The Scheldt and Meuse have long connected Belgian cities with the North Sea and continental Europe. Brussels’ Grand-Place, framed by ornate guildhalls and the Town Hall, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Medieval Bruges retains canals and merchant architecture, while Antwerp remains a major port on the Scheldt. Belgian beer culture is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
