The Rat Castle
Highlight • Historical Site
The building was the inspiration for the 1953 comic strip 'Het Rattenkasteel' by Marc Sleen. Sleen's comic strip made the priory's house popularly known as the Rattenkasteel.
However, it was not that building that served as a model in the comic strip, but the Hof ter Brugge in Erps-Kwerps.

Huysmanhoeve
Highlight • Historical Site
For a moment of peace and quiet, visit the charming Streekcafé. Housed in a beautifully restored barn with wooden beams and an old mill, it's the ideal place to enjoy a drink and local delicacies while playing a board game. From April to September, the café is open daily except Mondays and Tuesdays. On the terrace, you can enjoy homemade soups, quiches made with fresh vegetables from the garden, and delicious cheese and meat platters.
