Statue of Marshal Foch

The equestrian statue of Marshal Foch. His statue was placed here because he chose Cassel as his command post in 1914-'15. During that period he coordinated the allied armies. The statue was inaugurated in 1928, one year later he died.

The mill on Mount Cassel

Highlight • Monument

This 18th-century mill can be visited. It is still in operation and you have the possibility to process the freshly ground flour into a pancake or bread. Always open during the weekend. In the tourist high season also on weekdays in the afternoon (subject to change). In the vicinity of Cassel there were about 18 mills, of which this is the only remaining witness. Originally it was used to press oil, now only for grinding grain.

Cassel Windmill

Highlight • Structure

The Cassel mill is located at the top of Mount Cassel, in a place called the castle terrace. It is an authentic stopover during your stay in Nord-Pas de Calais.
There were once about twenty mills (wooden on pivots) on Mont Cassel, but they have all gradually disappeared... In 1949, Cassel bought an old mill that had fallen into ruin in a neighboring municipality, restored it, and placed it in the public garden of Mont. It is called the Castle Mill.

View from the castle terrace

Highlight • Viewpoint

At 176 metres high, this is the highest point in the area. It is a former castle terrace and until 1788, the St. Peter's Church stood here, of which remains of the crypt are still present. The belvedere is also a viewpoint. The Roman highways that can be seen from here and that fan out in all directions are spectacular.

Cassel Village

Highlight • Settlement

Cassel is a fortified town on top of a hill and not far from the Belgian border with Poperinge (20 km). Beautiful views, cozy alleys, unique estaminets and a richly furnished museum in a historic mansion. This is in short what Cassel brings you, once you have conquered the slope from whichever side. A lot of variety with a bit of history and culture, a lot of nature and local gastronomy. Enjoyment is the motto. Highlights are there for the taking in Cassel. For some, the Musée de Flandre will be the top attraction, for others the estaminets and still others just come for the cobblestone climb. Enjoy Cassel.

Cassel

Highlight • Other

The Mont du Cassel, on which the beautiful little town of Cassel sits, is the highest point in French Flanders. It was strategically important in several wars. Nowadays you can enjoy the view of the surrounding landscape from up here and stop off in one of the cozy cafés in the old town.
