Kaprijke

Kaprijke (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkɑprɛikə]) is a municipality in the Belgian province of East Flanders.The municipality comprises the towns of Kaprijke proper and Lembeke [nl].However, during the period of religious strife during the 16th century, the merchants and cloth makers withdrew to safer locations.Following the resolution of the problems, the merchants and weavers did not return, leading up to the decline of the city of Kaprijke into a rural village during the 17th and 18th centuries.In 1976, Kaprijke merged with another town called Lembeke, for a total population of around 6,200 people.
