This church in the village of Vlassenbroek – built without a steeple but with a roof turret above the intersection of the nave and transept – was dedicated to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles. In the Rhineland, she is known – and this is by no means meant disrespectfully – as the "Mouse Saint," since in the Middle Ages she was invoked primarily against those pests that constantly helped themselves to the food supplies in the house and barn.

Tucked away in a meander of the Scheldt River, the village welcomes thousands of hikers, cyclists, and bon vivants every year. The Gothic St. Gertrude's Church, visible from the Scheldt banks, towers over the landscape and is an iconic sight. It's open to the public every Sunday in July and August. Did you know that Vlassenbroek is also a uniquely creative village? This artists' village has a magnetic pull on anyone who loves art and beauty. In these narrow streets, you'll discover a rich collection of works by sculptors and painters. The picturesque surroundings must have something to do with it. It's the perfect place to get lost. (Scheldeland)

Since 1988, the Old Hans Bridge has also been protected. It is a cast-iron bridge from the late 19th century that spans the Dijle River between Keerbergen and Haacht. The Old Hans Bridge has been the subject of much discussion. It dates back to the 13th century, albeit as a wooden bridge. In the 19th century, it was replaced by a riveted cast-iron bridge with a fixed section on the Keerbergen side and a retractable section on the Haacht side. During the First and Second World Wars, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. In 1958, a new concrete bridge was built 200 meters upstream, and the Old Hans Bridge was retired. It could no longer handle the flow of traffic. Deterioration began, and soon it had to be closed, including to pedestrians and cyclists, because it was no longer safe. It simply rusted away. Together with the historical societies of Haacht and Keerbergen and both municipal councils, a battle against time began. It soon became clear that this battle was being lost, and restoration was out of the question because there was simply nothing left to restore. Reconstruction by perfectly replicating the bridge was the only alternative to save this now-listed monument. While the piers and bridgeheads were being repaired, the Flemish Region began the reconstruction of the old bridge: a perfect copy using the same materials as the original. During the night of June 14-15, 2005, this bridge was delivered in sections by three semi-trailers, and the following day it was assembled by a large crane. On August 27, 2005, the bridge was officially reopened. The Oude Hansbrug has been a listed monument since March 16, 1998. Source: https://www.keerbergen.be/product/292/oude-hansbrug

It can get busy (and dangerous) there during rush hours. At less busy times, it's a nice street for cycling.

Striking are the 18th-century terracotta reliefs on the exterior facades, which depict the five Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. Inside, you'll find a 17th-century pulpit with graceful twisted columns and cherub heads, an 18th-century communion rail, and a unique organ, probably from the Church of Our Lady in Dendermonde. An anecdote that touches the heart of this church is that of Pastor Valery Stuyver (1916–1995), a sculptor who served the parish from 1956 to 1983. He replaced the altar, which had been affected by woodworm, with a stone version of his own making, on which he chiseled in relief the washing of feet during the Last Supper. Above the altar hangs a life-size figure of Christ, also by his hand.
