    Nice monument, symbol of the flemish battle 'guldensproenslag'

  • 5/5 Glenn M. 8 years ago on Google • 55 reviews
    created to commemorate the battle of the gulden spurs. In which a small pre-Belgian local army (mostly militia) were able to hold a much larger french army by using the environment.

    Located in a small park, very peaceful area, a few benches to sit at, the monument itself is well kept, clean and tidy, not a great deal to see on its own but as part of a tour around Kortrijk it is worth viewing

    (Translated by Google) On the site of the Groeningekouter this beautiful Groeninge monument was erected in gilded bronze. It presents the Virgin of Flanders who tries to stop the broken Flemish Lion and puts a spear in the hand in the direction of France. The sculpture was made in 1906 solemnly revealed. It was established together with the Groeningepoort in honor of the 600th anniversary of the historic victory in the Battle of the Golden Spurs of 1302. (Original) Op de site van de Groeningekouter werd dit prachtige Groeningemonument opgericht in verguld brons.Het stelt de Maagd van Vlaanderen voor die de uitgebroken Vlaamse Leeuw tracht tegen te houden en in de hand een speer uitsteekt in de richting van Frankrijk.. Het beeld werd in 1906 plechtig onthuld. Het werd samen met de Groeningepoort opgericht ter ere van de 600 ste verjaardag van de historische overwinning in de Guldensporenslag van 1302.

  • 5/5 Bernard V. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) With a good day the French knights beat. The Flemish did not succeed after 1302. The battlefield has been peaceful for centuries. The traces of the horsemen were picked up and hung in the Gravenkapel of the Church of Our Lady from which they were stolen centuries later by the French to finally clear the traces of their libelous defeat. (Original) Met een goedendag de Franse ridders verslaan. Het is de Vlamingen na 1302 nooit meer gelukt. Al eeuwen ligt het slagveld er vredig bij. De sporen van de ruiters zijn geraapt en in de Gravenkapel van de OLV-kerk opgehangen waaruit ze eeuwen later door de Fransen zijn gestolen om definitief de sporen van hun smadelijke nederlaag te wissen.

    (Translated by Google) Monument erected as a memento of the Battle of the Golden Spurs (11 July 1302), in which a collective of Flemish, Zeeland and Namur knights and civil militias sustained the French royal knight army and inflicted a severe defeat in the former marsh near the Groeningebeek. Speeches have been given at the monument for several years on the Flemish national holiday. Around the monument is a small park that is used by locals as a cycling and walking path to the center of Kortrijk. The Groeningepoort closes this park on the side of the triangular "Plein", a slightly larger park, and the Roman avenue. (Original) Monument opgericht als aandenken aan de Guldensporenslag (11 juli 1302) waarbij een collectief van Vlaamse, Zeeuwse en Naamse ridders en burgermilities het Franse koninklijke ridderleger staande hield en in het toenmalige moeras nabij de Groeningebeek een zware nederlaag toediende. Bij het monument wordt al enkele jaren op de Vlaamse nationale feestdag toespraken gehouden. Rond het monument is een klein parkje dat door lokale bevolking wordt gebruikt als fiets- en wandelweg naar de Kortrijkse binnenstad. De Groeningepoort sluit dit park af aan de kant van het driehoekige "Plein", een iets groter park, en de Romeinse laan.
