Teseum: treasury and cloister garden

Tongeren is one of the most ancient religious sites in the Low Countries with a major church treasure of the Basilica of Our Lady. It comprises numerous valuable pieces of religious art such as reliquaries, reliquary pouches, gold and silverwork, medieval choir books, and rare textiles.

The museum is located in the historical setting of the unique Romanesque tower and chapter house of Our Lady’s Basilica. In addition to a presentation of the historical church treasury, topics such as liturgy, saints, relics, and the chapter house are also included. With a walk-through “music box,” visitors may view and even listen to centuries-old scores. The museum story ends with the coronation festivities, the link to today and the current tradition.

And there’s more! You’re invited to an exclusive tour of the adjacent Romanesque cloister and lovely monastic garden, one of the city centre’s hidden treasures.

You will make a tour with a multimedia guide (iPod), a digital tool brimming with stories that will enthral young and old, as well as providing the information sought by real history enthusiasts. The multimedia guide is available in 4 languages.

Park van de directeur - park van de directeur

Park van de directeur

Hierarchy was important during the mining industry and that was visible on the estate. The director lived in a villa surrounded by unique English and French gardens. After an arsonist struck, this beautiful building was reduced to a ruin. The park was given a thorough cleaning and was replanted. Every large city has a park, and so does Beringen. It is a great place to walk, practice sports and enjoy the peace and quiet.

When: The park is open every day.
Price: Free! Groups can hire a guide. The guide fee is € 60 (for the first 2 hours).
Practical: Park your car at the beMine site or on the kiosk square.

The Ukrainian Catholic community purchased an empty lodge called ‘Terminus’ belonging to Waterschei coalmine and turned it into the Josyf Slipyj centre to a design by E. Lambrechts. The space for the congregation and the altar space are separated by an iconostasis painted by Sister Elisabeth of the ‘Vita et Pax’ priory in Schoten in 1960. The Byzantine-style stained-glass windows were made by Armand van Rompaey between 1990 and 1992.
