Saint Veronus Church, Lembeek

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Veronus Church is a neo-Gothic building from the end of the nineteenth century. The Gothic choir, built around 1500, has been protected since 1947. The church contains a 16th century gigantic statue of Saint Veronus van Lembeek (died in 863) in Renaissance style.
In Lembeek, the St. Veroon March is held annually on Easter Monday to honor the patron saint of the church.

Lock 6, Lembeek

Highlight • Structure

The current lock of Lembeek was inaugurated in 1933 and is therefore more than 80 years old. This lock was originally designed for the passage of ships of 600 tons. The lock was fitted with a central door, which turned out to be a smart move many years later. The lock used to consist of two lock chambers. Depending on the busyness of shipping, the lock master could decide whether to use the small or the large lock chamber. When only one boat was available, only the small lock chamber was used. If two 600-ton ships were sailing in succession, the central doors were opened and the large chamber was used. In this way the lock master was able to save a lot of water. Because the ships became longer and longer over time, the central doors were removed in the 1970s and from then on the large chamber was always used for the ships' axes.

The lock was adapted with every technological advancement. Today, the four locks on the canal (Lembeek, Halle, Lot and Ruisbroek) are fully operated from the control center in Lembeek. And yet adjustments to an existing infrastructure are not endless. After 80 years we have reached a turning point. The current lock requires major annual maintenance. In addition, the limited length of the lock forms an obstacle to the use of longer ships. The construction of a new lock is therefore urgent.

Rodenem Quarry

Highlight • Natural Monument

This slate quarry, known as the Rodenem quarry, is one of the first places (if you come from the north) where you see primary rocks on the surface. Dating back to the Cambrian period, this rock is a relic of an old quarry in the Rodenem district. The stone was used in many buildings in the region, such as the church of Lembeek, the Malakov tower, the former castle and the bridges over the canal. The rock was explored by geologists. It is an old massif that was formed 500 million years ago. Fossils have even been found to be about 520 million years old. The oldest geological description of this quarry dates from 1847. The quarry already existed in 1730, but little is known about the first exploitation.

The Enchanted Forest Mural (Het Betoverde Bos), Pacapime, Halle

Highlight • Monument

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive mural in Halle. It is located on the wall of the corrugated cardboard producer Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal. With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.
The artwork was created by the artist collective Treepack and tells the story of several children in an enchanted forest who find paper and cardboard among the waste with which they make origami animals. They dream of a better future in which people and nature live together in harmony. To their surprise, a magical spell brings the crafted animals to life. Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.

Bridge over the Zenne

Highlight • Bridge

The Zenne (French: Senne) is a river in Belgium that rises at an altitude of 123 meters in the hamlet of Naar south of Zinnik and then flows through Brussels, where the river was vaulted. After 103 kilometers it flows into the Dijle at a height of 5 meters in Heffen at the so-called Zennegat (just north of Mechelen), together with the Leuven-Dijle Canal. The upper reaches (up to Halle) are cut into the Paleozoic subsurface. The Zenne is the longest river that flows only through the territory of Belgium
