Kerkschatten Sint-Catharinakerk - Digitale tafel kerkschat Maaseik

Treasury of Saint-Catherine's Church

SS Harlindis and Relindis lived in idyllic Aldeneik, where their father Adelhard founded a convent for them in the 8th century. Valuable art treasures from this period, such as Anglo-Saxon textiles (the oldest surviving examples ot their kind) and Codex Eyckensis (the oldest illuminated manuscript in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg), were donated to this convent. In 1571 these precious objects were transferred to St Catherina's Church, where they are on show to visitors along with many other treasures: a silver altar cross by Maaseik-born Frederik Malders (17th century), several early medieval reliquaries...
The Flemish authorities added six objects from the treasure chamber of Saint Catharina church in the centre of Maaseik to the List of Masterpieces in July 2019. These include a 14-century Agnus Dei (wax medallion), a 16th-century ciborium (a container to hold the host) and a silver procession cross made by the Maaseik silversmith Frederik Malder (1593-1662).Objects on the List of Masterpieces enjoy extra protection due to their special cultural-historical and scientific significance.

Landbouwmuseum "de Nostalgie" - Landbouwmuseum

Landbouwmuseum "de Nostalgie"

The aim of the farming "nostalgia" is to go back in time and get acquainted with the hard, everyone back but also beautiful peasant life of the past. Even ordinary life was in the museum portrayed. Who knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff, how they milked cows or tractors which there is reason in the field? Some things that Ivo Smeets has found are recognizable but forget others, even of the 19th century.

Nieuw Administratief Centrum (NAC) - NAC

NAC (New Administration Center)

In Houthalen-Helchteren the past goes hand in hand with the future. As symbols of two major periods, they stand out over our community: the pit heads and the New Administrative Centre (NAC), which has even made it onto the list of ‘100 places in the world that you just have to see’.

This futuristic and at the same time sober, ecological and extremely functional building is located on the old mining site and houses among others the municipal services, the OCMW (Social Service Department), the library, VVV-Toerisme and the police. The observation point on the roof of the building's blue tower, an artistic spot with an extensive view over this community and the region, is called ‘het Oog van Daubechies’ ('the eye of Daubechies').

This tower is named after a resident of Houthalen-Helchteren: Ingrid Daubechies. In the stairway enclosure you will find more information on her brilliant and famed mathematical formulas.
