Along mottled hills and merovingians
The archaeological site Sinte Gitter literally lays bare the past of Landen. There you will discover the foundations of a vanished church, medieval mottes and merovingian graves. Possibly Pepin of Landen, an ancestor of Charlemagne, once lived here. Above ground, too, you'll find ancient heritage. St. Amandus Church in Wezeren was built around 1200 in Romanesque-Gothic transitional style, inside you admire a block altar with eleven rosettes in floral and geometric motifs. According to legend, the Holy Cross Chapel in Neerwinden stands on the spot where a farmer found a statue of Christ in the Middle Ages.
