The World War II German Tower in Poperinge will be restored and opened to the public. From 9 May 2025, 80 years after the official end of the Second World War, the tower will be open to the public as a viewing and information point.
The German tower is one of the few remaining visible traces of the air war during the Second World War in Poperinge. The Germans built it as an observation tower for Flugplatz Peselhoek, a 125 hectare airfield that was never used. Along the Poperinge canal you will also find 2 small bunkers marking the border of the former airfield.
A short or long walk from the tower of from the city Center will take you past these unique relics.
