About Lokeren

Lokeren is also famous for its beer, jenever (Belgian gin) and tobacco. Lokeren has a small historic city centre with numerous architectural monuments from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The largest church of Lokeren is Saint Michael's Church, which dates back to 1310 and was partly destroyed by fire in 1794. In 1820 it was restored according to plans designed by architect Louis Delacenserie; he added two towers at each end of the transept crossing that were not originally there but are now part of this monument protected as a Flemish heritage site since 1930.[1] Loket Castle [ edit ] The castle Loket (Dutch: Kasteel van Loket), located on an island in the river Meuse near Jupille-sur-Meuse, belongs among Belgium's most beautiful castles because it has been preserved in almost perfect condition since its construction around 1240.
