What to See in Haacht

Haacht has some interesting places to visit:

  • St. Remigius Church: This old church has parts that were built way back in 1281. It's a cool piece of history!
  • The Anti-Tank Canal: This canal was built in 1939. It was meant to stop tanks during World War II. But it didn't work as planned! Today, it is a protected nature area. A group called Natuurpunt [nl] helps take care of it.
  • Haacht Brewery: This is one of Belgium's biggest breweries. It's special because it's still owned by Belgians. Even though it's called 'Haacht Brewery', it's actually in the nearby town of Boortmeerbeek.
  • Den Dijk Sports Center: Opened in 2003, this modern sports center has lots of facilities. It even has a special hall just for gymnastics.
