Openluchtmuseum Bachten de Kupe

The museum features 46 authentic buildings arranged as a traditional farming village, showcasing rural architecture from the Westhoek region of Belgium.

The collection includes structures dating from 1650 to 1900, with notable examples such as a barn from 1759 and a farmhouse from before 1650.

The museum name 'Bachten de Kupe' originates from West Flemish dialect, referring to the geographical area west of the IJzer River in Belgium.

Visitors can explore cobblestone streets connecting various exhibits, with newly renovated pathways providing accessibility for wheelchair users throughout most of the museum.

The museum contains two preserved horse mills and a collection of workers' houses from 1770-1780, transferred from the villages of Krombeke and Oostvleteren.
