Oud-Rekem: the most beautiful village in Flanders

Description

In 2008, Oud-Rekem was voted the most beautiful village in Flanders.

Through a few small narrow streets and the beautiful castle park, we first take a tour in the beautiful nature near this village.

Then follow the towpath back towards the village, walk under the gatehouse, and continue your way to the market square in front of the large d'Aspremont-Lynden castle. This beautiful building was once a psychiatric institution.

We take a village walk past many old houses that have been beautifully restored and now serve as cozy cafes or rustic restaurants. In the church, a museum is set up where you can learn more about the history of the village. You can take a look around the centuries-old, somewhat eerie doctor's practice and pharmacy of Dr. Humblé. Take an original photo with the statue or the pillory in the square. Or go in search of the gnome houses.

This small cozy village is almost like an open-air museum. It is well worth a visit.
