Villas with heart and soul

We take you on a voyage of discovery along several sumptuous villas and castles in Lokeren from the 19th and 20th centuries. Economic growth allowed the new industrialists to afford a lavish mansion that showcased not only their wealth but also their cultural elevation.

We connect all these 'châteaus' with each other in the ErfgoedApp. Let yourself be surprised by the stories behind the facades via this digital tour. You will see that the buildings come to life with heart and soul.

Jump on your bike and learn more about the story behind these special buildings.
The complete tour is 22 km long and takes about 2 hours.
You can start at any point.

The route was developed on the occasion of Open Monument Day 2023 'With heart and soul', but remains available in the app.
