En un regard
Le château en bref
The Westpoort is the western gate of Lo, now part of the municipality of Lo-Reninge. According to the regional press, it dates back to around 1250 and is the last surviving remnant of the town's medieval walls. Of the four original gates, it is the only one still standing. Built in the Gothic style, it is flanked by two turrets. For decades, the passage of lorries and tractors damaged the masonry, with stones falling onto the roadway. In August 2024, the town council banned motorised traffic from passing under the gate, which is now reserved for pedestrians and cyclists.
