Experiential Saint-Laureins

Experience Sint-Laureins immerses you in the rich history of this original peat-digging village. You will learn all about Pronkenburg, the Gouvernementstraat and the processions that took place there in the 50s and 60s. The history of a number of pubs is covered, as well as that of the church, the boys' school and the girls' school. Antonia Van Damme played an important role in Sint-Laureins. Just think of the House of God, built with her fortune. The Leopold Canal, dug to expel swamp fever, is also discussed. Go for a walk and get to know our past.
