 Hi @martenbiesheuvel, welcome to WordPress Trac!

 > For some strange reason, the content of the GUID is some text from the
 page itself! So, it looks like this:

 `strongWinterwerk%202016-2017/strongU/jij%20bent%20van%20harte%20welkom%20om%20één%20of%20meerdere%20activiteiten%20die%20in%20onze%20gemeente%20worden%20gehouden%20in%20de%20komende%20maanden%20te%20volgen.%20Hierbij%20ontvangt%20u%20de%20seizoenplanning%20en%20meer%20informatie%20over%20clubs%20en%20verenigingen%20`
 > This GUID contains 317 characters. But, the database column can only
 store 255 characters! I changed it to 500 characters and my website works.

 Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty
 Seventeen) activated?

 Normally, [source:tags/4.7.3/src/wp-
 includes/post.php?marks=3367-3369#L3364 GUID is set as a permalink of the
 page], so I think this might be a plugin, theme, or some other custom code
 doing something weird.
