    Tienen was once called the white city because of its whitewashed facades, but nowadays mainly because of its white towers. From a distance, three are still visible: from west to east the new water tower, the churches of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw and Sint-Germanus. The iconic cooling tower of the sugar refinery has since been demolished. The tower of Sint-Germanus is by far the oldest of these: Romanesque, with its base from the 12th and 13th centuries.

    The church is also very privileged: at the height of the Veemarkt, accessible via two steep stairs, with a pleasant carillon corner at the Apostelenhof.
