The Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Koekelare is a museum dedicated to the German artist Käthe Kollwitz, her son Peter and her work. In the museum you can learn more about Peter, a young German WWI front soldier who was killed on the day of his arrival in Diksmuide. To deal with her grief, his mother Käthe made two sculptures of grieving parents (‘The Grieving Parent Couple’). This masterpiece is now on the German military cemetery of Vladslo and is well worth a visit.
The museum not only highlights Käthe Kollwitz as an artist, but also as a strong woman and (grieving) mother. The common thread running through the exhibition is her indictment of the fact that children are the main victims of war. There is also a unique collection of works by this expressionist German artist.
The museum is located at Sint-Maartensplein 15B in Koekelare and is open from Tuesday to Sunday. The ticket is valid for both the Käthe Kollwitz Museum and the Fransmansmuseum.

Brouwerij Christiaen is a former brewery-malthouse in Koekelare and was active from 1790 to 1969. The buildings are included in the inventory of immovable heritage. The brewery was purchased by the municipality in 1985 and completely restored. In September 1993, the municipal council received the Flemish MONUMENT prize for this successful renovation.

The brewery dates from 1790 or 1807 and was founded by Pieter Mergaert. The brewery was closed in 1968. Restoration of the brewery started in 1990. The restored brewery was opened in 1992. The spaces were given new uses (library, tourist-cultural center, Fransmansmuseum, Käthe Kollwitz Museum, but the old functions can still be read through preserved inscriptions.
