ジョドワーニュのおすすめツーリングルート

Personally, it's not my cup of tea, far too monotonous. Okay, there are no cars, thankfully. But riders let their horses relieve themselves all along the Reval. And of course, without cleaning up! A real treat... on foot or by bike.

In autumn it's beautiful to walk through there with these trees full of colors.

car-free and shady part of Ravel

Church of Tourinnes-La-Grosse...

Beautiful, striking church in Beauvechain...

This listed chapel, of impressive proportions and dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was consecrated in 1353. It arose from the locals' need for a place of worship within the city walls. Today, it stands proudly on Jodoigne's Grand Place, which it dominates from a height of 27 meters. Its Gobertange stone makes it luminous, and its spiral bell tower is remarkable. Restored between 2008 and 2011, it is partially deconsecrated and hosts exhibitions at the Jodoigne Cultural Center. In an adjoining room, you can discover interesting items, including the recumbent statues of Wynand de Glimes, Viscount of Jodoigne, and his wife Michelle d'Yedeghem.

There was already a chapel on the Grand-Place of Jodoigne in 1279 and it was then called the capella fon geldoniensis. The economic and demographic growth of the city in the 14th century prompted the local religious authorities to enlarge the building. In the first phase, they wanted to build a very large chapel, with three naves. But due to a lack of money, the project was stopped and the single nave that can still be seen today was stopped. In 1353, when the square, high and massive tower that we see today was not yet finished, the Bishop of Liège dedicated the chapel to Our Lady. In 1632, the building was deliberately set on fire by mutinous troops, but it underwent a large-scale restoration campaign from 1634 to 1637. On that occasion, the initial shape was restored to the twisted spire, a curiosity in Brabant. For many years, the cost of building and maintaining the chapel required original initiatives. For example, the civil rights taxes levied by the city since 1211 were deposited with other taxes in the churchwardenship fund. After years of financial contributions, the citizens of Jodoigne believed that their fate was linked to that of the chapel. The building, which had been neglected for many years, has been classified as a historical monument since 1958. It was restored and the work was completed in 2011. The chapel is now deconsecrated and hosts concerts and cultural events. (Information board on site)
