Fort van Beieren

Not much remains of the fort from the War of Spanish Succession (beginning of the 18th century):
The central square is surrounded by an earthen wall with four bastions, a moat and a second earthen wall and an outer moat. Next to it was a small castle that was damaged during World War II and had to be demolished.

All that remains of the castle is an entrance gate, an outbuilding, an ice house and a walled garden, other parts have been rebuilt so that today you can visit a quarter of the castle in its original form.

In the nearby brasserie you can get delicious food or a delicious lunch in a rural atmosphere. On the menu you will find homemade classics from the French-Belgian kitchen. Do you have a sweet tooth? Then treat yourself to a freshly made pancake, waffle, ice cream or the dessert of the week.
