of Damme, land of Uylenspiegel, Nele and Lamme Goedzak. Standing
on the Market Square of Damme, the statue of Jacob van Maerlant, father
of all "Dietsche" writers, looks in a meditating way to all
the tourists and civilians that pass below him. Damme loves his
writer and honours the art with great pride. Statues decorate the
town, the literary museum in Huyze De Grote Sterre brings a tribute to
Tijl Uylenspieghel and Maerlant, the museum Charles Delporte shows a
collection of statues and paintings of this great artist. Old
books and new books, ordinary books or rare masterpieces, you can find
it in one of the many book stores or on the book market.
Discover Damme, town where the spirit of Uylenspieghel wanders
through the streets and lives in the hearts of the people...
