Sint-Goriks and Magdalenakerk Kobbegem

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Goriks- and Magdalena church is a typical rural church in a fairly heterogeneous style, the result of constant additions and renovations. This double name grew out of the two parishes that Kobbegem had around the 14th and 15th centuries, logically: the Saint-Goriks- and the Magdalena parish.
Due to all kinds of destruction by war, the Saint-Gorik chapel disappeared and was added to the Magdalena chapel.

Obbergen Buurtweg

Highlight • Trail

Near Brussels a quiet road where you are completely in the green and no more houses see. It sometimes reminds a bit of a sunken road or a field path, the fairly steep climb is certainly worth it.

Liermolen Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The Liermolen is a grain water mill on the Maalbeek. It was originally owned by the de Lire family. In 1341 it was purchased by the Grimbergen Abbey. The current mill building dates from the 17th and 18th centuries.
In 1976 the Municipality of Grimbergen bought the whole and since 1980 the Liermolen has been protected and a department of the MOT. The mill was thoroughly restored in 1977 and 2016, the bakehouse in 1987 and 2019.

Meise Botanical Garden

Highlight • Natural

The history of the Meise Botanical Garden goes back more than 200 years. It is, after all, one of the largest botanical gardens in the world: here you will find 92 hectares packed with plants, flowers and plants.

If it rains, you could beat the precipitation here and visit the greenhouses. Immerse yourself in exotic areas such as the tropics in the plant palace, visit the castle or go on a journey of discovery in the forest laboratory.
