    Tips

    This is where the roots of Merksplas lie.
    Long before the Irish monks came to our country to convert the Old Belgians, there was a Sacred Forest in this region of Merksplas, called the “Looi”. The elevated position between the current Melkerijloop and the Mark was also a natural fortress for the Romans.
    From that time stems the name "Burcht" - Motteburcht.
    In the early Middle Ages (5th to 10th century), the motte castle was still in use by the Lords of Merksplas.

      These horses are located in the beautiful park in Merksplas. The park is accessible to everyone and worth a visit.

        A number of nice sculpture groups, also for children.

          I looked for these horses, but unfortunately, I couldn't find them. I think they're gone or moved.
