Diksmuide is an agricultural and farming community, next to the IJzer river, located in the Westhoek in West Flanders in Belgium. In the 7th century was still Diksmuide right at the North Sea beach.

Diksmuide had suffered severely during the First World War and had to be completely rebuilt. A remnant from that period, the infamous Killing Gang, one of the most dangerous trenches of the Belgian army.
The IJzertoren, a peace monument, recalls the sufferings of war.
Other witnesses of the First World War in Diksmuide are the Keiem Belgian military cemetery and the German military cemetery at Vladslo with the famous statues of Käthe Kollwitz: The grieving parents.
