Lange Max Museum — Attraction in Koekelare

Myself and three friends travelled from the UK to visit this museum on 8 September 2017. We arrived at 2.30pm in the middle of the advertised opening hours. It was pouring with rain and we found the museum closed and locked up with no notice displayed as to the reason why. We asked at the nearby cafe and they said that it should have been open. I have emailed the proprietor to ask the reason and my mail has been ignored. I would not recommend a visit to this museum on the off-chance that it will be open, even when...

Another very interesting piece of what happened in this part of the Flanders during the first world war. The small museum is kept open by volunteers but we had a very interesting explanation by one of them, which made it even more worthwhile. The museum is small but interesting and very well done, after having visited it you can walk further on outside to where Lange Max used to be. There is a also a very nice place to have a drink and something to eat. In the whole for such a small place, it was very worthwhile...

It's a very nice war museum in flanders fields, not so far from Ypers, that explains history of the first world war around the region and history about the largest cannon in that time. You can even see the place where the cannon was located. The cannon itself is gone, but that doesn't mean that the remaining site isn't impressive to see. Also the cafeteria next to the museum is handy to drink a nice Belgium beer :) It's only 10 km from Ijzertoren Diksmuide, so it's also easy to go there...
