St Martin’s Church (free tower visit)

St Martin's Church is a real eye-catcher right on the Grote Markt. Like a beacon, this heritage gem looks out over the city centre.

Its 83 metre high tower has proven to be the perfect place to admire the Kortrijk skyline from up high.

Step inside and let yourself be enveloped by the serene atmosphere, the scent of incense, and the colorful stained glass windows.

The church is accessible for individuals with wheelchairs.

Book your free ticket for a visit to the tower. (This is a climb of 246 steps. There is no elevator. Climbing is possible from June to February, as peregrine falcons nest in the tower from March to May.)

Book your guided visit through Visit Kortrijk.

Extra tip:

The carillonneur plays tunes every Saturday at 16:30, either from the St. Martin's Church tower or the Halletoren. In the summer, the carillon festival "Torenmuziek" is on the program. From late June to late August, you can enjoy concerts on Monday evenings at 19:30.
