Pollinkhove

Pollinkhove is a village in Lo-Reninge, in the Belgian province of West Flanders.

==Geography== Pollinkhove is situated near the confluence of the Lovaart and Yser rivers. This strategic location has historically made it an important area for water management and transport, with the village's geography closely linked to the water systems, particularly the windlass system at Fintele, which connected the Lovaart and Yser rivers. This system, which dates back to the 13th century, facilitated the movement of boats across the dam between the two rivers. The continued significance of the region's waterways is also reflected in the 1827 construction of the lock complex at Fintele, which helped regulate river traffic. The centre of Pollinkhove borders the Izenberge Plateau and is bound by the Lo Canal and the Yser River.
