The oldest city pumps date from the early 18th century and were used to pump up pure groundwater. In the 19th century there are 35 city pumps in different shapes and finishes. Now only a few remain.

An important place in the Beguinage. Here the community gathered not only to pump water but also to share all sorts of interesting facts.
