De Bijloke is a historic cultural centre located in Ghent. Originally founded in 1380 as a hospital – Sint-Janshospitaal – it functioned as such for over six centuries, becoming renowned for its compassionate care. The complex features remarkably preserved medieval architecture including a stunning inner courtyard. In 2000, after extensive renovations, De Bijloke was repurposed as a modern arts venue hosting a diverse program of concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions and dance. It's now recognized as one of Belgium’s leading cultural institutions and maintains its historical character while serving as a dynamic space for contemporary artistic expression.
