Exhibition "Claude Klimsza, sculptorClaude Klimsza is an artist who invites reflection. He challenges our preconceived ideas, often with a touch of humour, and opens up a new space for us. His terrain is his faith. A powerful evangelical inspiration unites his works and unfolds the multiple facets of a Good News that crosses centuries, cultures and materials.He carves the Gospel into all the materials he touches. Sometimes quality wood, steel, bronze, sometimes much more modest materials, wires, photos, pieces of... -
The association Open Churches offers you a travelling exhibition of 56 photos on the theme of "The unusual in religious building". The selected pictures show the curious, mystical, fantastic look... and the offbeat humour of many photographers, amateurs or professionals. A great tool to invite the faithful and visitors to be challenged by the mysteries of your church.The unusual in religious building

4 & 5 June 2022Despite the destruction of 1940, the church of St. Peter has preserved some old pieces of liturgical textiles, saved from the disaster. Both the provisional church and the restored building, which was reopened for worship in 1952, have reconstituted an impressive wardrobe, with several hundred pieces.Through three exhibitions, from 2020 to 2022, a few pieces of these ornaments, ranging from the 18th to the 21st century, will be presented in the Sainte-Barbe chapel, which for the occasion will be transformed... -

4 & 5 June 2022From the Middle Ages onwards, the cloth industry brought prosperity to Flanders and the villages in the Westhoek. When the necessary supply of English wool stopped in the early 16th century, unemployment and the economy came to a standstill. Speculation with the grain supply caused the inhabitants to rebel against the administrative power. Church leaders also share in the blame, partly because the German church reformer Luther published the Bible in the vernacular. The rebels called themselves Beggars (an old...Nieuwkerke and the region in the noisy 16th century

4 & 5 June 2022Nowadays, Nieuwkerke lies on the border with France. Until 1713, the border of Flanders lay further into France until the town of Saint-Omer (on the Aa). A few decades before the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), the French king Louis XIV occupied this area. With this Peace, the Kasselrijen Belle-Ambacht and Cassel, among others, were added to the French crown: Nieuwkerke and Dranouter belonged to Belle-Ambacht and Westouter to Cassel. From 1769 onwards, border corrections are carried out along the entire...

4 & 5 June 2022On 8 November 2014, a Canadian delegation from Toronto came to bring back an object to this church. During WWI, the church lay in ruins and Canadian soldiers watched over this village. A chaplain entered the ruins and saved an altar stone from destruction. After some wanderings and service in a Canadian church, this altar stone disappeared into the archives cupboard. When the archives were checked in the spring of 2014, the indications on the reverse showed where the stone...

4 & 5 June 2022The last thematic exhibition of the "80/70 Commemorations", GHOSTS & MISSING PERSONS may seem enigmatic... but it is! GHOSTS for all the furniture planned by the architect Simon Brigode but which never saw the light of day... MISSING PERSONS, for all the pieces which have been "lost" over the centuries or which, having escaped the destruction of 11 May 1940, have... "gone astray" or have, alas, been stolen or altered since then...

4 & 5 June 2022Do you feel nostalgic for a time long gone when the priests still had their backs to the people and celebrated mass in gold-laden robes? Did you go with the procession? Do you know what flambeaus are and what they are used for? What do the processional flags represent? Do you want to tell your children, grandchildren, etc. about what it was like then or do you want to find out what has disappeared or what you can find in...Free visit
