KNOWLEDGE OF Assebroek
Through artefacts retrieved nearby Saint-Lucas hospital (and stored at Gruuthuse museum in Bruges) we assume that the Leitje region was already inhabited in the Stone Age.
Air perspective of the Ver-Assebroekse meersen even reveals a 5th century ca. 300 m ditches and rampart complex where the lords of Assebroek later build their castle.
Apparently around the 12th century a lord called Boudewijn of Assebroek bought his domain – limited by Oostkamp, Oedelem, Michel van Hamme street, Astridlaan and Lorreinendreef - free from Sijsele.
The Assebroek municipality only consisted of some scarce maisonnettes and a mill along the old road to Ghent. Instigated by the lords of Assebroek a local church and Engelendale convent were established.
Nowadays Assebroek includes 6 parishes: Immaculata (Ver-Assebroek), Assumpta, Saint Lutgardis, Saint Catharina, Saint Christopher, and Sacred Heart (Steenbrugge).
