The town of Lewarde has born on a wooded ridge (the mountains Saint-Rémi) surround an fortified area, built by the count of Hainaut in XIII, where we could monitor the common border of the Counties of Flandres and the Hainaut.

Of the fortified area, nothing has stayed. But, it's at this assumed place, in the fief of Lewarde, where the town church has been built.
