Monument walk.
St. Catherine's Church can be admired from all sides during this walk. This monumental church and tower, the triumph of bricks, was built in 1524-1546 after a plan by Rombout Keldermans and commissioned by Antoon de Lalaing and Elisabeth van Culemborg. They had the church built around their mausoleum that can be seen at the very front of the church. The church has a length of 80 meters and the tower, at 104.70 meters, is one of the tallest brick buildings in Europe. After the destruction, on 23 October 1944, it was rebuilt to the original one (1950-1958) under the impulse of Deken Lauwerys.
