Hiking

From a simple chapel next to a farm in the 12th century, to a church known for its beautiful statue of Saint Mary, to a popular pilgrimage destination. The Church of Our Lady of Alsemberg, built in a late Gothic style and recognizable by the typical Brabant architecture from the 14th century, even received the ducal title. Be sure to take a look at the church. The baroque-style confessionals, the authentic Romanesque baptismal font and the gilded devotional statue of Our Lady make you pause and think of earlier times. To this day, many pilgrims find their way to Alsemberg.

The OL-Vrouwkerk in Brabantegotiek dates from the 14th century. The Romanesque-Byzantine image of the Blessed Virgin is a well-known pilgrimage destination for weavers and future mothers.

Until the 14th century, a Romanesque church stood here, which was replaced by the current building from the 1350s. The construction of the new three-aisled church progressed very slowly. The church is built in late Gothic style and has all the characteristics of Brabant architecture from the 14th century, including the gables above the aisles and the pillar capitals with cabbage leaf motif.
