31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2025This exhibition highlights the border correction signed in this church in October 1769. In his quest for conquest, the French king Louis XIV occupied Flanders, among other places, in the 17th century. The Treaty of Utrecht (1713) annexed the castellany Belle (now Bailleul Fr.) and the castellany Cassel to the French crown. The inhabitants of the present-day Heuvellandse villages of Dranouter, Nieuwkerke and Westouter thus became French subjects in one fell swoop. But in two stages, 1769 and 1780, they...Exhibition

31 MAY - 1 JUNE 2025In November 2018, a delegation from Canada visited Nieuwkerke to return an altar stone. This stone was rescued from the church's rubble by a Canadian chaplain in 1916 and taken back to his homeland. This led us to dedicate some exhibition panels to WWI and the rebuilding of church and village.
