Wevelgem Station
Highlight • Rest Area
The station building is of the 1895 type and was built in 1912, by the State Railways to replace an older station building from 1855. The station was the impetus for the expansion of the village centre of Wevelgem and had a great regional economic significance due to the transport of coal and flax. The sanitary building and goods shed date from 1924. In 2001, the station building with the sanitary building, the goods shed and the concrete barrier was protected.
Since 28 June 2013, the ticket offices of this station have been closed and it has become a stop. For the purchase of all kinds of tickets, one can preferably go to the ticket machine, or via other sales channels. When the station building was sold, there was interest in establishing a cycling museum there, but this offer was not sufficient. A coffee shop was built in its place. In another location, the city has offered a secure bicycle locker since 2016. However, its future is uncertain due to the sale of the station. The station building has been for sale again since September 2023.

War Memorial Wevelgem
Highlight • Monument
Initially, the monument was erected next to the Saint Hilarius Church, but in 1967 it was moved to the former front garden of Vanackere Castle (the current town hall).
It is a bronze statue of a soldier with a palm of victory in one hand and a banner in the other on a bluestone pedestal, on which the names of the fallen soldiers can be read, as well as the inscription "Grateful Wevelgem to its fallen sons" and a small poem.
