Widooie Castle

Highlight • Castle

Just outside the village center of Widooie, on Kasteelweg, lies the beautifully preserved Widooie Castle: a secluded castle farm with deep historical roots. Four wings surrounding a rectangular courtyard form a harmonious whole, with marlstone bands, ornate wall anchors, and a stately gate dating from 1662 where the coat of arms of Richard Vaes still proudly stands. The corner tower, the classically renovated residential wing, and the 17th-century barns together tell the story of a place where generations have come and gone for centuries.

Heks Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hex Castle is one of the most beautiful and best preserved estates in Belgium. The castle is attributed to the Liège architect Etienne Fayn and dates from around 1775. It was built as a hunting lodge for Prince-Bishop François-Charles de Velbrück. It is surrounded by period gardens, a vegetable garden with an original vegetable cellar and a landscape park by Louis Fuchs, known for its collection of old and wild roses and age-old exotics. The annual garden days/plant fair are an opportunity for many to meet friends and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere - and in the exceptional setting of these historic gardens - to discover special plants and to seek advice from growers and specialists.

Reading Between the Lines (See-Through Church)

Highlight • Monument

This transparent church, aptly named 'Reading Between the Lines', is a work of art by PIT, designed by the architectural duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. It symbolises the decay of the church. The ten-meter-high artwork consists of one hundred stacked layers of sheet steel in the shape of a church in Loon. Thanks to the unique construction, the beautiful Haspengouw landscape remains visible through the church. In 2012, this transparent church received the 'Building of the Year' award from the renowned website ArchDaily. It was the first time a Belgian project had received this honour. Enjoy the view; this is a place with one of the most breathtaking panoramas.
