Museum for the visual arts
This historic hospital was founded in 1211. It is the oldest hospital in Kortrijk and one of the oldest in the country. The courtyard still faithfully reproduces the atmosphere of the centuries-old monastery. Some parts of the hospital are replaced with modern buildings.
An interactive museum showing you the Battle of the Golden Spurs (11th of July 1302). This battle is historical because it was one of the first battles where a peasant-based army defeated a knights army. After the battle, the spurs of the fallen horses were kept as a victory sign. The battle gave Flanders its regional holiday. The museum is located inside the beautifully conserved Groeninge Abbey.
