이 'Reading Between the Lines'라는 이름의 투명한 교회는 PIT의 예술 작품으로, 건축가 Gijs Van Vaerenbergh가 디자인했습니다. 이 교회는 교회의 쇠퇴를 상징합니다. 높이 10미터의 이 예술 작품은 Loons에 있는 교회의 형태로 쌓아 올린 100개의 강철판 층으로 구성되어 있습니다. 독특한 구조 덕분에 아름다운 Haspengouw 풍경이 교회를 통해 계속 보입니다. 2012년에 이 투명한 교회는 유명 웹사이트 ArchDaily에서 '올해의 건물' 상을 받았습니다. 벨기에 프로젝트가 이 영예를 안은 것은 이번이 처음이었습니다. 숨 막힐 듯한 파노라마 중 하나인 이곳에서 전망을 즐기세요.

물 위를 지나는 자전거 도로는 212미터 길이와 3미터 폭의 콘크리트 길을 따라 자전거 이용자들을 안내하며, 양쪽에는 눈높이의 물이 흐릅니다. 백조와 다른 물새들이 강둑을 따라 헤엄치며 자전거 이용자들을 호기심 어린 눈으로 바라봅니다. 개장 이후 이 독특한 자전거 도로에 대한 관심은 엄청났습니다. 평균적으로 하루 800명의 방문객이 림뷔르흐 자전거 네트워크의 잊을 수 없는 이 구간을 탐험하며, 토요일과 일요일에 절정을 이루고 어떤 날에는 5,000명까지 자전거 이용객이 방문합니다.

The Herkenrode Abbey site is an interesting combination of culture, history, nature and an ideal starting point for walks.

Beautiful to walk through with all those young blossoms.

When you are in the church, you can admire the beautiful hilly landscape through the 'walls'. In the distance you can see the church of Borgloon. Many photographers also take a photo where you can see the church of Borgloon through the see-through church. You have this view from a certain spot in the meadow.

You don't see many high-stem orchards anymore, everyone already saw the plantations with smaller fruit trees. So there are initiatives here and there to preserve them. Various places in Limburg that are visited by hikers have pieces of high-stem orchard. The best known is perhaps that of Alden Biesen, where many tourists and hikers come. But here too, along the paths with crowd pullers (the see-through church and so on) there are. Like here in Grootloon where there is a path that takes you to the church. The management is done by local farmers with Natuurpunt. And in addition to the high-stem orchard preservation, there is also attention for the night owl and the dormouse, as the information boards here tell you.

The main entrance to the abbey is located to the south of the complex. It is a late Gothic gatehouse, built in 1531 by order of Abbess Mechtildis of Lechy. There are two storeys under two intersecting slate saddle roofs with a spire with a pear-shaped crowning at the intersection, dated 1531 (coat of arms on the rear facade) and restored in 1907 (architect G. Rypens) and 1973. Inventory of Immovable Heritage: Herkenrode Abbey, https://id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/22246

The Herkenrode abbey site is located in the Demer valley, in a transitional area between the Lage Kempen and Haspengouw, south of the village centre of Stokrooi (Hasselt). It is an extensive historical domain that dates back to the former abbey complex of the Cistercian nuns. To the north of the Demer are the meadows, to the south the old abbey with its appurtenances, the farmyard, the eastern castle park and the other, higher agricultural lands. In addition to unirrigated hay and pasture land, there were also large flood meadows here until the 20th century. The latter were supplied with water via the Tuilterdemer. The abbey was founded in 1182, when Geeraard, Count of Loon, donated his estate Herkenrode to a certain brother Henricus to build a monastery for women. In 1271 the monastic community joined the order of Cîteaux. It became a flourishing enterprise that over the years acquired numerous possessions. The religious purpose came to an end with the departure of the sisters in 1796. At the beginning of the 19th century, the new abbess wing, built in 1768 to the south of the old abbess quarters, was converted into a castle. In the same period, an English garden was laid out on the east side and a front garden on the west side. The 14th-century church burned down in 1826 and was demolished together with the monastery building and the convent buildings in 1843. The buildings and the surrounding grounds formed a single differentiated whole for a long time. Over time, however, they fell into the hands of different owners. In 1972, 11 ha of the former abbey site became the property of the canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre. The property includes the actual remaining abbey buildings with the sisters' quarters, the old abbess quarters, the sacristy, the infirmary, the 18th-century abbess wing and the adjoining landscaped park.
