Book brings the missing De Visscherie banquet hall back to life…

But behind the festivities there is also another story. In her book, Snick elaborates on the link between the domain and Cyriel Verschaeve, the controversial priest-poet who found shelter there after the Second World War. “The Lootens family, the owners at the time, invested enormously in him. They even set up a publishing house for him. Without them, no one would have talked about Verschaeve anymore,” says Snick.
