Lonely Planet review for Guido Gezellemuseum
Flanders' best-known poet is celebrated at the Guido Gezellemuseum. Gezelle became a cult figure among Flemish freethinkers in the early 20th century. He was born in 1830 in this house, which belonged to a noble family - his father was the gardener and Gezelle lived here until age 16, when he left to study at Roeselare (between Bruges and Kortrijk). The museum contains books and documents recalling his life and works, such as The Evening and the Rose, sold at reception.
