Provinciaal Museum Stijn Streuvels Het Lijsternest

Provinciaal Museum Stijn Streuvels Het Lijsternest, Writer's house museum in Ingooigem, Belgium.

Het Lijsternest is a whitewashed brick villa with two side risalets, a west veranda and a steep roof of Flemish tiles with dormer windows. Architect Jozef Viérin designed it in regionalist style, built in phases from 1904, with grey sintered brick door surrounds and a dark paned window beside the entrance.

Architect Jozef Viérin designed the villa in a regionalist style inspired by local Flemish architecture; construction began in 1904 and Streuvels moved in with his wife Alida Staelens in 1905. Extensions followed in 1906 and 1911, funded by two State Prizes, adding a study and a panoramic window. The house and garden were damaged at the end of the First World War and again by shelling on 20 May 1940, with repairs in 1943.

The house preserves the living space of Flemish writer Stijn Streuvels, whose study contains his complete library and personal collection of books. Visitors can observe how he organized his work and intellectual life within these rooms.

The museum reopened in April 2014 after restoration work that began in March 2008, so it is open again. It stands on a small clay hill at Stijn Streuvelsstraat 25 in Ingooigem, about 500 metres from the village centre, and is also the starting point of the Het Streuvelspad walking route.

Above Streuvels's writing desk hangs the motto "Nulla dies sine linea" (No day without a line), which he adopted as his own. The desk stands in the office where he usually wrote, with views east to the hills of Tiegem, southeast to the Scheldt valley and the Kluisberg, and south to the Triniteitsberg near Doornik.
