Wortel Cemetery Visit this silent witness to Wortel Colony's vagrant past. Vagrants were given a number upon arrival at the Colony. Lead plaques often bear only a number, not a name, on the white crosses of the vagrant cemetery.

This one is also on the water, it is very beautiful.

Villa Caron, a detached, eclectic double house (ca. 1888) built as a country retreat and hunting lodge for the Caron family from Turnhout, who acquired this estate after the French Revolution (ca. 1885). The popular name "Burcht" (Fortress) refers to the former motte-and-bailey castle that served as the upper courtyard. From 1155 onwards, the rectory of the Norbertine monks from St. Michael's Abbey in Antwerp stood on the lower courtyard with its moat. In 1990, the estate was sold to the municipality. Since November 2001, this building has served as a local history society's house. Source: https://www.merksplas.nu/archief2330/node/1737.html
