Maldegem — from Vakekerkweg to Adegem

In Maldegem, this route brings together nine Art Deco buildings from 1928 to 1938. It starts on Vakekerkweg, with the house and horse-sausage factory built in 1935-1936 for the horse butcher Bourgonjon, then passes a house of 1929 on Westeindestraat and the De Gouden Leeuw café (1933), which retains its shopfront and its 1930s interior. It then reaches the villa built in 1928 by the flax industrialist A.
