Kortrijk, Administrative center in West Flanders, Belgium
The River Leie flows through Kortrijk, creating a network of waterways that connects the city center with surrounding neighborhoods and green spaces.
During medieval times, Kortrijk emerged as a textile manufacturing center, specializing in flax processing and wool production for international trade markets.
The Belfry of Kortrijk and Beguinage, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, demonstrate the architectural excellence of medieval Flemish construction techniques.
Two railway stations, extensive bus networks, and proximity to international airports in Brussels and Lille provide transportation options for residents and visitors.
The Battle of Courtrai in 1302 earned Kortrijk the name City of the Golden Spurs, marking a defining moment in Flemish independence.
