Former church located in the pedestrianized city center.

Memorial to the liberation of Ronse on 3 September 1944.

The nave of the old St. Martin's Church was purchased in 1933 by Julien Van Hasselt to convert it into a garage and a house.

The brown beech (18th century). The brown beech is probably a relic of the late eighteenth-century garden design of the Spanjaardenkasteel. Dean Leemput is said to have received the trees in his garden from a fellow professor of botany at the University of Leuven. The brown beech stood here until 1958 - three in a row - in the company of a horse chestnut and a remarkable swamp cypress. Unfortunately, the horse chestnut and the swamp cypress were felled in the winter of 1958. Only the brown beech remained.

Mataone's work "Hermes the cat" touched us. The street art work was completed in September 2024 and in December 2024 Hermes was run over and killed.

Villa 99 is a villa with garden in Ronse, Belgium. It is located on the Oswald Ponettestraat and was purchased by the couple Mario and Brenda Polfliet-Leemans from Gavere, who run Brasserie De Post. The popularly known Zijdekasteel is being transformed into Villa 99. The house was built by the Tournai architect Tock and was built in 1925 for August De Meestere, who sold silk, hence the name Zijdekasteel. The house must have been incredibly progressive for that time. For example, the insulation value of the glass is very good and the electrical wires were in tubes. The couple eventually wants to live in the building that was given the name Villa 99. The house is currently regularly opened for cultural projects.

It is wonderful to enjoy a nice picnic outdoors when the weather is nice. In Ronse there are many picnic facilities in green areas. This time we choose a spot in the center in the courtyard of the Hoge Mote reception and experience center. Feel free to drop by the modern center of Hoge Mote and discover the assets of the municipality of Ronse, and by extension the Flemish Ardennes region.

Pause for a moment and breathe in the history of St. Hermes Basilica and Crypt. Admire the elegant choir stalls and the equestrian statue of Saint Hermes (patron of the mentally ill), or listen to the Carillon with its 49 bells. Together they weigh no less than 12 tons! This 'Basilica Minor' or 'smaller basilica', a title it acquired in 2019, is open every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can only climb the tower by appointment. It is definitely worth braving the 208 steps, because you will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the city and its hilly surroundings.
