6 - 7 JUNE 2026This exhibition highlights the border correction that was 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. Under the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), the castellany of Belle (now Bailleul, France) and the castellany of Cassel were annexed to the French crown. The inhabitants of the present-day Heuvelland villages of Dranouter, Nieuwkerke and Westouter thus became French subjects in one fell swoop. However, in...Exhibition

6 - 7 JUNE 2026This exhibition uses ten panels to outline the reasons for the rise of Protestantism in the West Quarter in the 16th century. The Geuzen movement was a spontaneous popular uprising against the central government and ecclesiastical authority, fuelled by exploitation, injustice, famine, etc.

6 - 7 JUNE 2026In November 2018, a delegation from Canada visited Nieuwkerke to return an altar stone. This stone was rescued from the ruins of the church in 1916 by a Canadian chaplain and taken to his homeland. This prompted us to dedicate several exhibition panels to the First World War and the reconstruction of the church and village.

6 - 7 JUNE 2026On Open Monument Day, 14 September 2025, it was exactly 100 years ago that the church was reconsecrated by Bishop Gustave Waffelaert. This gave us the idea to highlight the people who worked hard and were responsible for rebuilding this church from 1919 onwards. We found information about Father Achiel Six, architect Jozef Viérin, stained glass artist Camille Wybo and many other talented craftsmen, which we will discuss below.

6 - 7 JUNE 2026The old Stations of the Cross depict the various “stations” as a kind of comic strip with many figures. Calmerlinckx's Stations of the Cross do not show general images but close-ups. For example, you never see the cross in its entirety, but everywhere you see a block of wood. The facial expressions and especially the hands are crucial.
