Discover more about BKRK Bread

Since this weekend, you can discover everything about the craft of bread-making at the Kilbershoeve farmstead from Meeuwen in Bokrijk. Not only will you discover a number of items from the Bokrijk collection, such as baking tools, but also the many traditions surrounding bread, its meaning, and its importance.

The barn on the farmyard underwent extensive restoration and has now been converted into De Superette Bokrijk. To this end, Bokrijk entered into a partnership with 'contemporary craftsman' Kobe Desramaults, who chose Bokrijk as the location for his second branch.

The Bokrijk Collection

The theme of 'bread' is interpreted in the houses on the grounds of Meeuwen, a building that has been located in Bokrijk since 1700 and whose bakery has been used as a museum bakery for many years. With BKRK, Bokrijk is taking a step further in terms of content. The Ghent-based research agency Geheugen Collectief conducted extensive historical research into the Meeuwen house and the baking techniques of the past. Via the ErfgoedApp .
