Kortrijk Essentials

Kortrijk’s historic core preserves the legacy of the 1302 Battle of the Golden Spurs, centered around the Groeninge monument and the Church of Our Lady. The city’s architectural evolution is visible in its medieval defensive towers, such as the Inghelburghtorre and Speytorre, alongside contemporary infrastructure like the pylon-supported Collegebrug. This selection features the UNESCO-listed beguinage park, the Count's Chapel with its medieval royal portraits, and the neo-Gothic Sint-Elooiskerk, illustrating Kortrijk's transformation from a medieval stronghold to a modern cultural hub.
