Chris... Were the renovated trenches rebuilt based on historical events at that specific location? I assume they were, but weren't sure if they might have been replicas.

The trenches were dug on historical lines, there was a discussion on this a while ago (here is the link) which Mark Horner from Salient Tours explained how they were dug and includes some earlier photos of the trenches.

I stayed at the Kasteelhof hotel, where the trenches are, last April and although I couldnt help but wish they could be more heavily maintained, they do add something to your stay.
