Aalst - D.A.V.S.

The Daensmuseum en Archief van de Vlaamse Sociale Strijd (D.A.V.S.) on the second floor of the Belfry is dedicated to the movement for social justice founded by the priest Adolf Daens. Expelled from the Catholic Church because of his political activities Daens established the social-democratic "Christian People's Party" which, after the First World War, was absorbed into the "Vlaamse Beweging".
