Gerard de Baere, a native of Laarne, was the 43rd abbot of Ten Duinen Abbey in Bruges from 1653 to 1666.
Life
De Baere was professed as a monk in 1631. He was ordained subdeacon on 10 April 1632, deacon on 21 May 1633, and priest on 24 September 1633.[1] A plan to have him nominated Bishop of Bruges failed to pan out.[2]
On 11 May 1666 he granted permission for a chapel with portable altar to be built on the former site of Oosteeklo Abbey.[3]
He died in Bruges on 26 October 1666.[4]
