Conserving a landmark on the Kemmelberg.
The Belvedere Domain sits on the summit of the Kemmelberg, in the hills of West Flanders. My father, Noel Kindt, and I hold it through our family company, Belvedere BV, and spent the first two years restoring it largely by hand.
The original wooden tower was built in 1888 as one of the area's first tourist attractions. It was destroyed in the First World War, used as a British observation post and dealt its final blow in the spring of 1918, during the Battle of the Kemmelberg. The site has been a protected monument since 2004, and we steward it for the long term, conserving its architectural and historical character.
