The Church of Our Lady in a former Collegiate church in Kortrijk. The church was built in 1199 established by Baldwin IX, Count of Flanders. The church is situated in the historic city centre of Kortrijk.
The church played a mayor role in the history of the County of Flanders. The original chapel was situated within the domain of the Counts of Flanders which was, except the part along the River Lys, fully walled. By request of Balduin IX and his wif Mary of Champagne the chapel was extended and became church. Inside a collegiate chapter with 12 canons in honour of our lady was installed by request of the Count. This chapter received papal approbation in 1203 by Pope Innocent III. Th count provided himself the Prebendaries and gave important relics, that came from Jerusalem with the crusades. The chapter was considered one of the most important of Flanders.
