The Flemish Region holds a priceless tourist treasure, as illustrated by the mythical town of Kuurne. This market town in the province of West Flanders has managed to distinguish itself wonderfully through its delicious cuisine, its various attractions and its liveliness. Visit the west of Belgium from this charming town, which is full of surprises.
The cultural heritage of Kuurne
In a calm and peaceful environment, take pleasure in discovering at your own pace what makes Kuurne so glorious. The historic center will catch your attention with the impressive Saint-Michel church, the town hall and the Lys monument. The neo-gothic church, dating from 1878, owes its beauty to its marble cast and its 17th-century clock. Opposite the church, the town hall captivates with the presence of numerous prestigious paintings in its premises. It should be noted that this historical monument was erected in memory of the Battle of the Lys against German troops in 1940.
In addition to its main monuments, Kuurne attracts travelers for the horse races held at the Kattestraat racecourse. A visit to the racecourse could be an excuse to immerse yourself in the Kuurne municipal library. The cultural life of the city is in fact centered on the houses on Boomgaardstraat. There you can admire literary works as well as several works of art.
Finally, to round off your cultural tour in style, take a trip to Brugsesteenweg where the Mill distillery awaits you. A visit to this flour factory introduces you to the gastronomy of Kuurne. Take the opportunity to taste Ezelstaart, a chocolate pastry in the shape of a donkey, accompanied by a Belgian beer called Ezelsbier.
Discover Kuurne from a different angle
This long but fascinating cultural trip deserves a break for fun and relaxation. For all your trips on the water, opt for a yacht charter in Kuurne.
From the Kuurne marina, set off on a trip on the river Lys, taking in the exceptional green landscape. On the river itself, enjoy fun activities such as pedalos. Nature lovers will find what they are looking for at Groene Long, a seven-hectare nature park, ideal for observing the flora and fauna of the Flemish region.
