The Groeninge Monument is a memorial in the Belgian city of Kortrijk. The gilded sculpture was erected on the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the Battle of the Golden Spurs and is located in the Groeninge Park, where the Groeninge Field was located in the Middle Ages. The Groeninge Park can be entered via the Groeninge Gate, a triumphal arch that also commemorates the victory during the Battle of the Golden Spurs. The Groeninge Monument was created by the sculptor Godfried Devreese. It was originally to be inaugurated in 1902, but it was not finished until four years later and was ceremonially unveiled on 5 August 1906. The gilded statue represents the Virgin of Flanders, holding a spear in the direction of defeated France with one hand, and holding the proud Flemish lion, who has broken the chains, with the other hand. At the bottom of the monument we see Robert II of Artois, grandson of the French king Louis and governor of Flanders, lying dead under his horse.

Located in a beautiful park, close to the center. Many benches invite you to just relax.
