Sint-Heribertuskerk Remersdaal

The landscape in the eastern part of the Voer region shows all the characteristics of the ”Land van Herve”: scattered farmhouses, meadows, hawthorn hedges and fruit orchards.
Apart from the neogothic St Heribertus church from 1897 some remnants and the farm belonging to the castle ”Het Hoes” may be seen. The much better preserved castle of Obsinnich, from the 17th century, is to be found some kilometres away from the village centre next to the railway line. It is now in use as a Youth Hostel.
When passing the borough boundary on the way to Sippenaken – where the splendid castle of Beusdaal may be admired – a curious monument is passed. It was raised in the memory of the victims of the electrical wire which separated Belgium and the Netherlands in World War I (the Great War)

Sint-Martinuskerk - kerk SMV

Sint-Martinuskerk

The village is dominated by the tall ( 23 metres) railway bridge. It is part of the rail connection Tongeren-Aken, built by the Germans in the Great War (World War I). This highlevel overpass links the railway line to the longest rail tunnel of Flanders (2070 metres). The steeple of the St-Martinus church dates back to the 13th century. Reverend Veltmans (1866- 1954) is buried to the left of the church tower. He played an important role in saving the Dutch character of the Voer region. Among the old tombstones on the churchyard there is one from the 16h century. It can be found just behind the graves of an RAF aircraft crew, (their plane crashed in 1944).A little further along the road the Veltmanshuis may be found, named after reverend Veltmans, a former chapterhouse from the first half of the 18th century. Until 1971 it served as the presbytery. Now it is the Cultural Centre of the Flemish Community.
The two central Voer villages of St-Martens and St Pietersvoeren have a concentration of flintstone buildings unequalled anywhere in Flanders. Especially the hamlet of Veurs has a great many old timber frame farmhouses, so characteristic of this region. Most of these dwellings date back to the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century.

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.
