Between white beer, blossoms and petrified forests
Whoever says Hoegaarden, says white beer. The monks brewed it here as early as 1445, AB Inbev still does. In the center stands St. Gorgonius Church, the largest and most beautiful rococo church in Belgium. A very different tower is Pallox, an observation tower made of corten steel apple crates that gives you a panoramic view of the blossoms through peepholes. Hidden behind the Kapittelhuys and the Eagle's Nest is the park of Hoegaarden, with water features, play areas, picnic meadows, a bee garden and a neo-Gothic conservatory built circa 1885. At the Goudberg geosite, in turn, you walk among petrified trees from a subtropical swamp nearly 55 million years old.
"A beer village, but also much more than that."
