This is a place in the city where history is not only visible, but can also be felt.
In this neighbourhood, where workers’ cottages stand side by side with stately townhouses, the 17th-century Predikheren Monastery is a particular highlight. This historic building has been given a new lease of life as a modern city library and a vibrant meeting place. Right next to it, you’ll find a place of tranquillity and reflection: the poignant Kazerne Dossin, which houses a museum about the Holocaust. Here, you can contemplate a haunting piece of history in complete serenity. You can also relax in the quiet garden of the Archbishop’s Palace or take a stroll through the Groot Begijnhof.
