ESQUELBECQ
Located on Yser, Esquelbecq is a quiet borough, typically Flemish from approximately 1 600 hearts. Local curiosity is its castle which faces indifferently time. Within its framework of water and greenery, the castle of Esquelbecq, built out of bricks, indeed hardly changed since time when Sanderus represented it in a print of its Flandria Illustrata, published in the year of grace 1641. |
