Both St. Bernardus Brewery[1] and {{Interlanguage link multi|Brouwerij Van Eecke|nl}} are located in Watou. The {{Interlanguage link multi|St. Bavo Church|nl|3=Sint-Bavokerk (Watou)}} dates partly from the 12th century. The Watou church and cemetery is located next to Watouplein, the square in the center of the village. During World War I, called the Great War in Belgium, Watou and its surroundings were a quiet resting area behind the lines. No armed conflicts took place here, so the church only saw a few war funerals between April 1915 (Second Battle of Ypres) and November 1918 (when the war ended). See also
