Hendrik Tratsaert,
editor-in-chief the low countries

I proudly present our renewed site, which now guides you through the cultural life of the Low Countries in an even more attractive way. What makes us unique is that we spotlight the culture of the Netherlands and Flanders together, with all their points of overlap and differences. If you want extensive information and in-depth insights about what flourishes, clashes and contrasts in the literature, language, history and art of these two nations, subscribe to the low countries.
Not only will you be indulging yourself, but you will also help us provide a broad palette of carefully selected and nuanced articles in various genres, penned by the best writers.

Thank you very much!
