메넨 최고의 러닝 경로

프레슈크 생태 터널은 2021년 초에 개통되었으며, 서플란데런 지역 최초의 터널입니다. 크고 작은 동물들이 이 터널을 통해 E403 고속도로 아래를 안전하게 이동할 수 있습니다. 이는 교통 안전을 높이고 프레슈크 숲 주변의 자연이 풍부한 지역들을 더 잘 연결해 줍니다. 2022년 여름, 다비트 두이츠는 생태 터널과 차도 사이의 분리벽에 올빼미, 개구리, 고슴도치 등 동물들을 그려 넣었습니다.

The St. Francis Church has not been used for religious services since March 15, 2019. The building has since been given a new socio-cultural function. The location has been thoroughly renovated into a fully-fledged cultural (theater) venue with many possibilities. Associations, companies, and individuals can rent the venue for all kinds of activities. In its current form, the church dates from 1861, but its history goes back much further. The Capuchin Fathers settled in Menen in 1603. Their monastery stood on the site of the current parking lot next to the church. The French Revolution marked the end of the monastery. The church features an 18th-century Baroque altar, originating from the St. George Monastery. The choir is decorated with frescoes, and in 1973, a crypt was discovered that served as the 18th-century burial place of 24 monks. Source: menen.be

The Schippershof is one of the oldest buildings in Menen. It dates back to the 17th century and was once, among other things, an inn for bargemen.

You can visit exhibitions at the museum free of charge. Source: information board on site

The cubist design is by Huib Hoste, who expresses several ideas through the chosen materials: brick represents the earth on which the boys lived, natural stone represents higher ideas, the column represents the striving upwards, the cross symbolizes suffering and triumph, on the back is the relief with the lion, the symbol of the country for which they sacrificed, and on the front, the slender woman radiates joy and peace.
