Aarschot

The Demer flows through Aarschot past historic mills, iconic towers and more special heritage gems. A statue flaunts on every corner in this bustling Hageland town.

City full of life and story

Demerstad Aarschot is hidden between the Hageland hills, surrounded by wine terraces and nature reserves. The charming city is historic and lively at the same time. Discover its fascinating history at the Stedelijk Museum, while Het Gasthuis, once a maternity hospital, today bustles as a cultural hotspot. The 's Hertogenmolens from 1510 are the region's most impressive water mills. The Moedermeule also looks handsome in the open landscape of Gelrode. Climb to the top of the Aurelianus Tower for a panoramic view of the city, or admire the 85-meter-high Church of Our Lady, a Gothic masterpiece from which the Peace Carillon sounds.

"On every street, statues tell the stories of the city."
