Kapel van Helshoven

Reading between the Lines

Reading between the Lines, the chapel/art installation of the Belgian architects Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh consists of 100 steel sheets stacked on top of each other in the shape of a church. The construction weighs a whopping 30 tons. The special way of construction makes the landscape always visible throughout the church, from far away and up-close. The church is therefore present but also absent in the landscape. According to British newspaper, The Guardian, this is the most beautiful place in Belgium.

Het Pachthof

The Pachthof is located in the village centre of Borlo, a district of Gingelom.
The restored square farmhouse dating from 1645 now serves as an inn and hotel.
In the summer months, the courtyard serves as a terrace. A green environment in which relaxation is just a little bit more, where healthy air and peace spoil you.
The hostess is a beerologist and can therefore offer you the ideal beer with your dishes, with full knowledge of the facts. If you prefer to stay a bit longer in the beautiful Haspengouw, you can also stay in our country hotel on the spot. More information can be found on our website : www.pachthof.com

Sint-Maartenkerk

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).
