The objective is to welcome tourists in a trendy fashion and provide clear and Leeuw unambiguous van Vlaanderenlaansignage to places of interest. We show them the best Kortrijk has to offer on the way to their destination. Prinses Marie-Josepl. Many attractions are within walking distance in Kortrijk, which Jan Breydellaan offers a great advantage, but sometimes places of interest are hidden or are difficult to find.

We have lined up 10 amazing, not-to-be-missed locations and activities for you. 01 03 The Béguinage site with the experience centre, the Artillery Tower, the Church of Our Lady and the Saint-Martin’s Church Broel Towers These medieval towers, together with the Artillery Tower, are all that remains of the city’s old fortifications. The southern ‘Speytorre’ was constructed in 1385 to control traffic on the Leie. The northerly ‘Inghelburghtorre’, dating back to 1415, served as a weapons depot. The Towers are part of the distinctive Kortrijk city silhouette. The Kortrijk Saint Elisabeth Béguinage, founded in 1238, is a city within a city, an oasis of peace and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You can stroll past the small houses, the Gothic Saint Matthew’s Chapel, with the oldest organ in the Low Countries, and the house of the ‘Grand Dame’. 04 The Battle of the Golden Spurs 06 Texture / Museum of Flax and river Lys Kortrijk 1302 tells the tale of the most significant battle in the history of Kortrijk, the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302, in which an army of Flemish peasants defeated a force of heavily armed French cavalry. A little further, on the Groeningekouter, you will find the Groeninge Monument where you can admire the statue of the Virgin of Flanders. She is trying to restrain the Flemish Lion, which has broken free of its shackles. The Groeninge Gate, from 1908, which bears the inscription “1302 Groeningheveld”, leads onto ‘t Plein, formerly the training ground of the 17th century military. 08 02 The Grote Markt, the Belfry and the City Hall The Grote Markt in Kortrijk has something to suit every taste. Right in the middle of the square is the Belfry (UNESCO World Heritage Site), a remnant of the medieval cloth hall. At the top are the famous bell strikers Manten and Kalle, and the spire houses the 48-bell carillon. The Grote Markt also features the City Hall, in late Gothic Renaissance style. The façade features statues of the Counts of Flanders. Inside, you will discover the splendid aldermen’s hall and council chamber with sculpted mantelpieces. The Gothic hall houses a modern mural on the Battle of the Golden Spurs by Jan van Imschoot. ‘Metamorphosis of the city’ city walk The new city walk doesn’t just take you past the city’s historical centre but also pays tribute to the metamorphosis that Kortrijk is currently undergoing. There is a handy map including a brief description of all the places of interest you encounter along the way. You can download an audio version of the walk for your smartphone from www.toerismekortrijk.be. It reveals some interesting facts and amusing anecdotes. The route is indicated by rivets on the ground. The first bricks in the Church of Our Lady’s long history were laid in the 13th century. In 1370, Count Lodewijk van Maele had the Count’s Chapel built as his personal mausoleum. You will also find a touch screen there that provides more details about the history of the chapel, the stunning wall paintings of the Counts of Flanders and the statue of Saint Catherine (a recognised masterpiece!). Today the church contains a number of important treasures such as ‘The Erection of the Cross’ by Anthony Van Dijck. The banks of the Leie and ‘De Grote Verleieding’ De Grote Verleieding (the big temptation), celebrations in Kortrijk and throughout the region following 20 years of works on the Leie. The extensive works have given Kortrijk a facelift and the city now boasts a widened Leie, seven new bridges and riverbanks with spacious paths, delightful parks and a renewed relationship with the water. TEXTURE tells the story of the flax and linen industry. A story about strong roots, about craftsmanship and entrepreneurship, about daring innovations and constantly re-inventing oneself. In three rooms, in an authentic flax depot (1912) on the banks of the river Lys, you can learn about the revolutionary development created by the flax industry in this region. The past will surprise you, while the stories of the present, will amaze and inspire you. For centuries, Flanders has been famous for its textiles. A new industry sprung up along the banks of the Lys and went on to conquer the world: flax processing. ‘Courtrai flax’ soon became renowned as the best flax obtainable and still is eagerly sought internationally. Three rooms, three stories You use flax every day, probably without knowing it and at places you would not expect it. Designers, scientists and entrepreneurs leave no part of it unused. Discover, try, feel and test it all in The cabinet of Curiosities. The Leie room brings to life the story of flax processing in the Leie region. This story is one of mixed fortunes, of people who without outside assistance repeatedly found the resilience to overcome major crises. It’s a fascinating history with thinkers, darers and doers in the leading role. Beneath the golden crown you will find the Treasure chamber. This is the place to marvel at the beautiful damasks, laces, handwork and fine fabrics 07 The Saint-Martin’s Church dates back to the 12th century and has been repeatedly rebuilt and restored over the centuries. Inside you can find precious works of art. The church tower houses Kortrijk’s first full 19th century carillon. TK-top10 2015_UK_HR.indd 2 05 10 ‘K in Kortrijk’ is the new and prestigious 34,000-m² shopping centre. The complex puts Kortrijk back on the map as a pleasant shopping town. K in Kortrijk sits alongside the city’s shopping streets. Here you can find every kind of shop imaginable, from major chains to unique boutiques. In short, shopping in Kortrijk has something for everyone! The seven newly designed bridges aim to further reinforce the city’s own individual character. Each bridge is unique and can be used to get one’s bearings. They are all suspended seven meters above the surface of the water. The Westelijke Ringbridge, the Dambridge, the Groeningebridge, the Collegebridge, the Noordbridge and the Budabridge have been completed while the Reep- 09 In the brand new Experience Centre in the Saint Anna Room you will be immersed in many centuries of history in a remarkably dynamic manner. The Béguinage was inhabited by strong, independent women, who were not bigots but feminists before the term was even invented. Three ladies with character, all once elected as the ‘Grand Dame’, whisk you off and provide you with a glimpse into their world. You discover the elements of their daily life, you see the Béguinage evolve and you can admire the Béguinage’s treasures. An audio guide for use during your visit to the Béguinage and the experience centre can be obtained from the Visitor Centre, located just outside the gate. The Artillery Tower is one of the few remains of the city’s medieval fortress. This tower dates back to the 14th century and was originally used as a tower for drinking water. ’ K in Kortrijk’ and the shopping streets ’Occupied Kortrijk between 1914 and 1918’ You can visit the ‘On the Trail of a Spy’ exhibition in a wing of the Kortrijk 1302 Museum. What happened in Kortrijk during World War I? Located within a single day’s march from the front, our city was an important point of supply for the German troops. The city was in the grip of regulations, requisitions and billeting. Fighter pilots and bombers made the skies unsafe. Privileged and less privileged citizens tell their stories. And a spy lurks around every corner. You can also follow the WWI trail. You cycle or walk past places that played a special role in The Great War. The soldiers’ club (Soldatenheim), the pigeon prison, where confiscated racing pigeons were locked up to prevent them from being used for spying, an airfield complete with its bunker, the prisoner of war cells that were secretly bugged... And you can use your tablet or smartphone to play the exciting City Game about espionage. 23 May - 25 September Buda Island Buda Island lies between the arms of the river Leie, offering plenty for artistically-minded visitors to the city. This district of Kortrijk includes such distractions as the Buda Tower; a platform for artists of all sorts to do what they do best. The Budascoop cinema offers the chance to enjoy the best non-commercial films and Broel 6 offers a varied exhibition programme of contemporary visual arts. In the summer of 2015 it will display the FLUX art trail. In the Budapark, people of all ages can relax in the beautiful setting of the Leie river. In the summer, the Buda park turns into a beach with a sunbathing area. The Buda Factory is an impressive venue where designers, entrepreneurs, artists, students and active citizens work side-by-side. The architectural firm of the Flemish Government Architect Peter Swinnen took charge of the old building. A pentagonal section was added along the streetside to make the building’s façade more visible. The building’s 3,000 m² provides space for exhibitions, workshops and studios. There is a prototype lab with 3D printers, laser cutters and lots of other machines for creative people. bridge is still in the design phase. Time for a celebratory project. The Leie is the main artery of the Belgian art scene: literature, architecture and painting. In this context the FLUX art trail unites contemporary artists with amazing installations, intriguing photographs and new paintings. The artistic journey of discovery starts on 4 July in Broel 6 and takes you past special places along the Leie. De Grote Verleieding also focuses on the Leie’s numerous meta- morphoses in Kortrijk and the region. Metamorfosen XL offers residents and visitors an insight into the historic and future developments in the Leie region: urban development, green spaces, industry and reconversion and recreation etc. Info: www.groteverleieding.be 23 May - 25 September 28/11/14 09:22
