Sint-Odulfus Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Since the early 1000s, Saint Odulphus has been associated with this church and its chapter as a patron saint. This is evidenced by several preserved seals of the Loon chapter. However, Odulphus is not a saint of this region, but rather of Brabant or Utrecht or Stavoren. How did he end up in Borgloon?
It was the count's House of Loon that brought the veneration of Odulphus from Utrecht when it settled in Borgloon. The Loon counts were related to the Carolingian family Balderik from Utrecht.
The veneration of the Balderiks for Saint Odulphus was continued by the count's House of Loon. The Romanesque church of 1131 was dedicated to Saint Odulphus (together with Saints Peter and Paul, S. Salvator, Holy Cross and Holy Mary). After fires at the church, new relics were brought from Utrecht (1180, 1274, again 1421) to Borgloon at the request of the Saint Odulphus chapter.
On June 12, the feast day of Saint Odulphus was and is celebrated. In Borgloon, a separate Saint Odulphus procession took place on that Sunday until the 1960s.

Back to Borgloon means climbing. You do pass vineyards and you can try to get a view of the castle domain.

You do indeed have a wide view here, but still pay attention at the lookout point. A piece of plank has broken off just where you enter the platform.

Twijfelgrens Sculpture by Fred Eerdekens

Highlight • Monument

In Borgloon, Fred Eerdekens (°1951, Belgium) shows a pleated line in the landscape. Along the Roman cobblestone you will find a wood-like sculpture in which you can read the word 'doubt border' - only when you look from the right position. Fred Eerdekens often uses language as a medium for his artworks. At the same time, his work is a reflection on how language works. For Doubtful Border, you have to take the right position to be able to read the “hidden” word and gain insight.

Experience Orchard

Highlight • Natural

Here you can enjoy a summer picnic, taste the unsprayed fruit or romp around to your heart's content.
You can make a fire, light the barbecue and pitch your tent, but do it with respect for nature and for each other.

Beguinage Cross

Highlight • Monument

The 'Begijnenkruis', on which we read: 'her lyct buried gertuvd vandermase begeyne dyt dies a 1622 the 26th May prays for your soul'. This cross is an old example of a cross of misfortune that bears witness to the ancient custom of erecting all kinds of devotional monuments along roads.
