Kortrijk

The River Leie defines the setting of Kortrijk — its course through the centre has shaped the city’s waterside streets, bridges and public spaces. In the historic core, the medieval Broel Towers stand on opposite banks of the river, recalling Kortrijk’s former defensive role. The city is also closely linked to the 1302 Battle of the Golden Spurs, fought nearby and commemorated at the Groeninge Monument. Kortrijk’s belfry, attached to the Gothic town hall, belongs to the UNESCO-listed Belfries of Belgium and France.
