KOERS. Museum of Cycle Racing

The KOERS Museum occupies a former fire station building from 1902, featuring exhibits of racing bicycles, jerseys, trophies, and cycling memorabilia.

The museum opened in 1998 to preserve cycling heritage, particularly celebrating Odiel Defraeye, the first Belgian Tour de France winner from the region.

The museum maintains a documentation center containing photographs, newspapers, magazines, and archives that chronicle the development of Belgian cycling traditions.

From March through September, visitors can explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00, with modified hours during winter months.

A dedicated hall commemorates Jean-Pierre Monseré, displaying artifacts from the local world champion cyclist who died during a race in 1971.
