Zonnebeke trip planner

Composed of five small villages, Zonnebeke has seen more than its fair share of dramatic events over the centuries. The town's top attraction remains a centrally located chalet-style mansion, built in 1922 to replace an earlier structure destroyed by wartime bombing raids. The elegant mansion houses a museum dedicated to the Battle of Passchendaele, one of the bloodiest campaigns of World War I. Originally settled around an Augustinian abbey, the small town suffered nearly irreparable damage during World War I. Slowly resettled and rebuilt in the 1920s, the indomitable town managed to close out the 20th century as a lively regional center, known for producing some of Belgium's finest cheeses. Zonnebeke is in West Flanders Province. Plan my Belgium trip by asking Inpirock to come up with tips and suggestions.
