Do you have some time and fancy some history? Then be sure to take a look at the old town ("Oud stad") with its beguinage and belfry, which UNESCO included in the list of world cultural heritage in 1998 and 99. Right next to the bell tower: the town hall. It dates from 1740 and replaces the cloth hall at that time.

Our tip: One of the local specialties is "Lierer Vlaaike", a hearty pastry made from rock candy syrup and four herbs. It's been around for more than 300 years (don't worry, it's always freshly baked) and is one of the oldest regional pastries from the province of Antwerp.

In 1999 an order was even founded, the "Orde van het Liers Vlaaike", which watches over the quality of the product.

The Grote Markt has been an important center of Lier since the Middle Ages, which was elevated to a city in 1212. Several main streets converge here from the city gates. In 1367 a cloth hall, which later became the town hall, was established. As early as 1383, the part of the market for this cloth hall was cobbled. In 1557 the entire market was raised and laid in cobblestones. Until before the First World War, old 17th and 18th century guild houses gave the market its view. However, three quarters of the houses were destroyed in 1914, especially the western side has been preserved. Only a few buildings were rebuilt in their original form. For more than ten years there have been discussions about the reconstruction of the Lierse Grote Markt. This ongoing discussion led to a plebiscite on December 14, 2008. The proposed plan was rejected. The reconstruction of the Grote Markt started in 2011 and the official opening took place on April 27, 2012 on the occasion of Lier 800. The market also contains a tile the witch stone in memory of the last witch burning in 1590.
