L'abbaye de Beaupré était située autrefois à Grimminge, en Belgique, sur la Dendre, non loin de Grammont. Les bâtiments subsistants font aujourd'hui partie d'un domaine privé. L'abbaye est fondée en 1228, détruite au XVIe siècle lors des révoltes des gueux et reconstruite en 1590. La Révolution française sonne définitivement le glas de l'abbaye.

Boelare Castle is a castle near the village Nederboelare, Geraardsbergen municipality, in the province of East Flanders, Belgium. It used to be the seat of the feudal domain Land and Barony of Boelare. The oldest recording of the name Boelare dates back to the 11th century, but the domain is probably older.
Some indications point to a first castle in Boelare in the 9th century. However, the structure of the current castle buildings dates back to 1605. On 1 July 1987 the castle was classified as an important national treasure by the Belgian government. In 1983, the buildings were renovated, and are currently housing a home for elderly people.

The 1964 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships were held in Overboelare, Belgium on Sunday February 16, 1964. It was the 15th edition of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.
The race took place on the right side of the Dender river, with the start on the site of today's airfield and a detour to the Boelare forest. There were seven laps of a 3.1 km long course, which, together with an inrun section at the start, resulted in a total length of 23,050 m. The course was considered to be rather easy in advance, but this was not the case on site, also because rain softened the course before and during the race.
From the third lap onwards, Renato Longo took the lead, which no one would challenge him anymore; he won his third title in a dominant manner. Behind him the positions changed frequently, and a group of four riders ended up fighting for the medals. Home rider Roger De Clercq, who had been in the top ten many times since 1953, came second and was on the podium for the first time. For third-placed Joseph Mahé, however, it was his first World Championship participation.
For the first time at the World Championships, all riders who started reached the finish.
