The web site of the IJZERTOREN - Peace Domain.
 

This new 85 meter high "Ijzer" Tower was constructed from 1951 to 1965. The slogan "no more war" was added in four languages.

Some of the sites worth visiting are :

• auditorium : screening of the video film entitled "In Flanders Fields" (duration : 11 minutes) about world war one;
• chapel : with stained glass windows based on Joe English’ drawings;
• peace museum : concentrated on the peace ideals of the front soldiers and the Flemish emancipation struggle;
• the "Gulden Doek" (i.e. golden canvas) : a huge painting by Hendrik Luyten de picting dozens of famous figures from Flemish history;
• panorama room : a view of the former front landscape.
