Markt Asse

In the early Middle Ages, the Market in Asse already had several barracks and civilian homes.
From the many cozy terraces we can deduce that it has retained its role as a central meeting point.
The bronze Hop Devil hangs from its stake on the Market, it is the symbol of the summer storm winds that smashed the hop poles to the ground and of the other setbacks that the hop farmer had to deal with.
In the months of February and March you can taste delicious hop shoots, a local specialty, on the market square.

Where it can be cozy...

The Market Square in Asse, lined with stately mansions, already existed in the early Middle Ages and is definitely worth a visit.
The building at no. 5, 'house notary Stas', in traditional brick and sandstone style, is by far the most beautiful on the square.

Are you ready for a good terrace after a brisk walk or bike ride? Then you've come to the right place on the picturesque market square!
Under the watchful eye of the Hopduvel, you can quench your hunger and thirst in one of the taverns or cafés.

During the summer months of July and August you can enjoy a free concert every Friday evening.
