Of all the small towns on the Meuse, Oud - Rekem has one of the most authentic village centers. Sometimes it was an independent rule with its own coin, its own customs law, its own army and judiciary. Wandering here really means going back to the Middle Ages. Not for nothing was this beautiful little village voted the most beautiful village in Flanders by Tourism Flanders in 2008. Three churches, a chapel, a castle and a pharmacy museum are just a few of the well-preserved sights in the village centre.

With the Castle d'Aspremont-Lynden, the Museum Church, the Museum Pharmacy, Distillery Senden and the many historical buildings you travel back in time. The Drossaerdhuis, the Gatehouse and the Court of Justice are also worth a visit. In other words, a picturesque open-air museum.
