the most interesting part is that the items exhibited come from the homes of the locals living nearby! Our father fought in WW2 and visited his relatives close by in Knesselaere during the war.

Nice place, but sadly food prices are expensive for what you get. 13 Euro for 2 small toasties with a little salad and 2.5 Euros for a small cola. Staff not very friendly. Such a shame as could be so much better
