The Decay – House of Cards by Tom Herck
Highlight • Monument
The traditional images on the cards are replaced by a selection of historical figures, world leaders, and dictators. The images and the shape of the house of cards are thus a metaphor for the fragile construction of the different political, philosophical and religious views of humanity and the world. The material used and the 'concrete walls' refer to the historical and current political use of walls to shield and protect 'our own people' from 'outside influences'. With this form, the images chosen and the material used, the artwork wants to remind us of the great human suffering that results from dogma and dictatorship, and of the need for global cooperation and reconciliation.
Finally, the title of the work (“the decline”) creates doubt about whether the house of cards is actually being built or whether it will soon collapse. In this way, the artist asks the fundamental question about the possibility of progress and the feasibility of society.

Zorgmonument Sint-Anna Hospital
Highlight • Historical Site
History: The Grauwzustersklooster at the Vissegat was the centre of healthcare in Sint-Truiden before 1800. Because it was connected to the Capuchin monastery, it was integrated into the civil hospital during the French Revolution.

Cicindria Stream
Highlight • River
There they say about the Cicindriabeek: "The Cicindria rises in Jeuken and flows into the Melsterbeek after 12 km. Sint-Truiden originated on the fertile banks of the Cicindriabeek. Trudo, the founder of the city, came from an estate in Straeten. This hamlet was located at an important crossroads of Roman roads. A Benedictine monastery stood in this valley (Val St-Trudon) until the 13th century. In 1986, important archaeological finds were excavated along the Roman road, which can now be admired in the town hall on the Grote Markt".
