Built in the late 1200s/early 1300s, the historic building was largely destroyed in WWI, but was reconstructed and now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum. The huge LEGO model is 2.4m (7' 8") tall and took Corneel Clarys more than 1,000 hours over 5 months to complete. The model is now on display inside the museum. | Beyond the Brick | Facebook

From a centre of the wool and cloth trade to the gateway to the Ypres Salient, the town has borne witness to an incredible amount of Flemish history through the centuries. Ruined after the war, Ypres was rebuilt in the following decades and has become the home to many of the memorials we pay our respects at today.
