Groene 62 Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Old railway bed from Torhout to Ostend, now a beautiful cycle path with some beautiful long gravel sections (unfortunately with now also asphalted sections).

Colloquially known as the Maeres Castle, also called Kasteel Maere d'Aertrycke, it was built between 1868 and 1871 in the Neo-Renaissance (French) style. August Maere, the visionary behind the port of Zeebrugge, was later ennobled and was allowed to add the name d'Aertrycke to his surname. The domain remained in the hands of the family for a long time, but from 1960 part of it became the property of the province of West Flanders. Since 2012, the entire domain has been provincial property and the castle has been transformed into a hotel, restaurant and conference center.

Brewery-Malt House Christiaen & Fransmans Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

During my short stay in Koekelare I discovered it as a warm and cozy village with friendly people and attractive squares. The eye-catcher is the Christiaen brewery-malthouse dating from the 1790s. It is now a cultural center and you will find the Fransmansmuseum, a tribute to Flemish seasonal workers.

Brouwerij Christiaen & Käthe Kollwitz Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Koekelare is a museum dedicated to the German artist Käthe Kollwitz, her son Peter and her work. In the museum you can learn more about Peter, a young German WWI front soldier who was killed on the day of his arrival in Diksmuide. To deal with her grief, his mother Käthe made two sculptures of grieving parents (‘The Grieving Parent Couple’). This masterpiece is now on the German military cemetery of Vladslo and is well worth a visit.
The museum not only highlights Käthe Kollwitz as an artist, but also as a strong woman and (grieving) mother. The common thread running through the exhibition is her indictment of the fact that children are the main victims of war. There is also a unique collection of works by this expressionist German artist.
The museum is located at Sint-Maartensplein 15B in Koekelare and is open from Tuesday to Sunday. The ticket is valid for both the Käthe Kollwitz Museum and the Fransmansmuseum.
