Kortrijk 1302

Kortrijk 1302 is an interactive museum about the Battle of the Golden Spurs, fought near Kortrijk on 11 July 1302. The battle became central to Flemish historical memory because a largely infantry army defeated mounted knights, and the captured spurs became a symbol of victory.

The museum is set in the conserved Groeninge Abbey and gives useful context before visiting Kortrijk's other medieval sights.
