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.

Museumapotheek Oud-Rekem - 2

Museumpharmacy

At the Groenplaats in Oud-Rekem, the most beautiful village in Flanders, there is an attractive building from 1820. Part of this building is furnished as a museum pharmacy with a doctor's cabinet. It was once the private pharmacy of a doctor who made his own medicine. At the time, a doctor was also a surgeon, dentist, gynecologist and even coroner.

You will not only see shelves full of pots filled with products from the 19th century, but you will even find an original delivery chair, delivery bars and coroner material in the doctor's old office. Continue your way under the guidance of an experienced guide and discover a collection of glass stones and pots, scales, measuring and mixing cups, medical books and so on!

We owe the original state of this to the Humblé family, which housed the drugstore annex pharmacy from the 19th century. In 1891 there came a doctor's practice from Dr Gerard Humblé. His son, Dr. Fans Humblé, continued the practice until 1970. In 1985 the content of the practice was transferred to VZW Renovatie Rekem.

Tuinwijk Winterslag - tuinwijk winterslag

Winterslag garden city

Inspired by the garden cities he had seen in England, in 1911 at the request of mining pioneer baron Evence Coppée II, the Brussels architect Adrien Blomme designed a ‘total concept’ for Winterslag that combined city and country. The design for Winterslag garden suburb, a first for Belgium, was structured around major elements like the railway station, church and mine. The planting of parks and gardens and tree-lined avenues was also integral to the plan.
The C-mine discovery map outlines a 4-kilometre walk through this charming green residential area in the vicinity of the colliery.
Priced at €1, the discovery map is available from the C-mine Visitor Centre during opening hours.
