ヘルショウフェンの最高地点からは、現在、ハスペンゴウ地方の風景の息をのむような景色を楽しむことができます。アーティストのフリット・ジェウリスは、このために、地元産の数十本の伐採された果樹を使ったユニークな芸術作品を作成しました。 「ヘルシュ(ea)ブン」は、それぞれ50年ものの標準的なサクランボの木90本で構成された木製の芸術作品で、2016年末にサクランボに小さな実を引き起こす伝染性の植物病であるサクランボ痘ウイルスに罹患しました。今、伐採された木々は第二の人生を得ています。この芸術作品は、ハスペンゴウのダイナミックな風景を象徴しています。

On the site of the current St. Leonard's Church stood a chapel—the date of construction of which is unknown—in honor of Saint Leonard of Noblac. After this chapel was elevated to a parish church in 1231, it was replaced by the current church, which had a long construction history: the monumental Gothic building was largely constructed between the 13th and 16th centuries. St. Leonard's Church is rich in art treasures and owes its international fame primarily to them. The Iconoclasm of 1566 and the French Revolution passed the church by without significant damage, thus preserving most of the impressive artistic heritage accumulated over centuries: altarpieces, paintings, statues of saints, copper and silverwork, vestments, and other devout objects. Below, a few of these showpieces are presented. Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the Marianum: this double statue (1533) is situated within the 15th-century veneration of Mary, which depicted the Virgin Mary as the apocalyptic woman and mediatrix of grace. Not-to-be-missed highlight inside: The Sacrament Tower: A tabernacle crafted from white Avesnes stone is undoubtedly the church's showpiece. The artwork was created in the workshops of Cornelis II Floris de Vriendt in Antwerp and erected in Zoutleeuw in 1552. The tower is 18 meters high, has nine stories, and contains approximately 200 statues depicting scenes from the Old and New Testaments. A replica is on display at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. The Paschal Candlestick This copper candlestick is 5.68 meters high and weighs approximately 950 kg. It was cast by Renier van Thienen, based on a design by Jan Bornam, and installed in the choir by the founder himself in 1483. It is the second-largest Easter candlestick in Europe.

7 centuries old, but still beautiful...

Yes, Leonard knew what he wanted and is indeed a "wow"...

Jadoul Farm in Vorsen is a historic square farm, mentioned as early as 1469. Originally owned by Susteren Abbey, it was part of the County of Loon, with a rich history of guardians such as the Van Vorsen, Van Berlo, Van Gavere, and the Count of Arenberg families. This protected monument underwent renovations, including one in 1788, and is now a working fruit farm (apple, pear, cherry) with modern holiday homes, combining tourism with agriculture and history, including covered wagon tours of the nearby tumuli.

wonderful road for cycling

nice place to go on holiday

A perfect spot to take a break and have a drink. The food is delicious. You can fill your water bottle from a tap on their terrace. More info at https://www.wilderen-statie.be/brasserie-de-statie/ Although I've passed by here many times before, I stopped for the first time today. I was so pleasantly surprised that I'm now making it my regular stop/refueling point for my rides to St. Truiden.
