Rond den Heerd ("Around the Hearth") was a weekly Dutch-language family magazine published in Bruges (Belgium) from 1865 to 1890.[1] It was founded by Guido Gezelle and William Henry James Weale. From 1870 the main editor was Adolf Duclos.[2] Editorial disagreements led to the founding of the alternative Biekorf in 1890. Weekly publication of Rond den Heerd ceased, but Duclos continued to produce occasional publications under the title until 1902.
