Dead and forgotten? Not at all. Let yourself be surprised by the hidden stories of the historic cemetery of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver and discover the rich funerary heritage. Who lives in a death house? What are those holes in the walls? Where is the secret gate of the Ursulines? The cemetery of Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver carries many stories with it. Let yourself be guided through the rich history of the cemetery by expert Staf Bleeckx. He passionately gives an explanation about our old (and less old) funerary heritage. After a short explanation, you can continue to discover the stories of tombstones, symbols and forgotten corners yourself with a new perspective. A unique opportunity to get to know this special place as an open-air museum full of memory, meaning and history.
