German War Cemetery Lommel

Highlight • Historical Site

The German Military Cemetery is the largest Western European cemetery from WWII. Here 39,111 German soldiers were given their final resting place. Walk along the endless rows of graves, discover their stories and reflect. You can strengthen your inner self afterwards in the brasserie with terrace: Hof Ten Vrede.

Butterfly Valley Lommel

Highlight • Natural

Lommel has the ambition to become the butterfly city of Flanders.

Industrial estates, road verges, railway edges and the mill surroundings were sown in a butterfly-friendly manner.

Lommel planted butterfly bushes en masse and a butterfly walk at Kattenbos was opened.

The business parks are the starting point for the butterflies, but residents are also encouraged to make their garden 'butterfly friendly'.

Sint-Pietersbanden Church Lommel

Highlight • Religious Site

Very nice and quite big church. The church tower was built around 1480 as a proud testament to a prosperous community. Thanks to the sheep for being funded from the annual proceeds of the local wool trade and hence popularly nicknamed 'Wol Tower'. It is 40 meters high in total, with a 17-meter tower and 57 marlstone masks. The church building is slightly more recent, from early 1900-1903, and is known for the interiors by Vincent Lenertz: the monumental organ, the stained glass windows by Gust Ladon and restored murals by Adolphe Tassin depicting the life of Peter, the figures of the saints and the angels tell.
