Climb up the NAC-tower (New Administration Center)

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.

Climb up this tower and enjoy a 360 ° view.
You get an entrance card and a binoculars at the Tourist Office by showing your ID-card.

Children are only admitted under the supervision of an adult.

NAGELS HOUSE

Experience the upstairs-downstairs atmosphere in this notary house dating from 1892, full of architectural and historical style elements. Both the façade and the interior of this 19th-century notary house give visitors a unique view of the eclectic interplay of architectural styles and their style elements. The visitor is guided in the spirit of the belle époque with the apotheosis of a surprising visit to a few private rooms, located on the first floor. In addition to the Gothic and Louis XV interiors, especially the 'Salon de Musique' in Egyptian decor style makes this experience unique. A wonderful example of late 19th century Egyptomania. A 90-minute upstairs-downstairs trip to the 19th century fin-de-siècle.
The tour ends in the staff cellars with its octopus-fuel cellar, a rare relic of modern heating in the 1900s.

Every visitor receives a nice surprise.

In June 2015 Huis Nagels was one of the sets for the recording of the TV fiction series 'Chaussée d'Amour' (VTM).

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

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.

Our unique landscape played an important role in the history of our region. The most tracks of the past are disappeared or cannot be recognized anymore. Now we find all the information, in pictures and text, on the Landmarks, information cubes spinning on border community posts.

Some locations have already received an extra construction, like the Irish Cross in Lafelt, where an audio presentation in open air brings the bloody Battle of Lafelt back to life.
