Daguitstap Diest - Between power, religion and civil liberty!
Sun, 13 Sept 2026 · 08:45
Vertrekplaats: achter Huis van de Stad, Lommel
€48
Diest is a small city – that is how it profiles itself, without pretension – with a special historical past. The city was in the hands of the Counts of Nassau for three centuries and can still call itself an Orange City to this day. The traces of its past are still visible everywhere. Look at the imposing Cloth Hall, the fortified military belt, the Sint-Sulpitius Church with its iron sandstone and the world-famous Diestian, and the tranquil space of a beautiful beguinage. In short: a hidden gem on the Demer.
This city exploration is also a philosophical excursion. What makes a city a city? What is it like to live there today? What does living together mean? Also discover how the new community of the Citadel is a modest quest for involved and connected cooperation.
