THE GRÖNINGEPOORT (GRÖNINGEPOORT) MONUMENT
The Groeninge monument represents the Virgin of Flanders, a symbol of hard-won freedom in Kortrijk.
This memorial, designed by Godfried Devreese, is located in Groeninghe Park, site of the Battle of the Golden Spurs. It commemorates the victorious battle fought by the Flemish warriors. Made of gilded bronze, it depicts the Virgin of Flanders, symbolizing the freedom hard-won in battle. One of her hands is raised, and the other holds the lion of Flanders, whose chains are broken. It also features a Flemish warrior and a representation of Robert II d'Artois!
