Theme route: Diest at the front door. A journey through time along the facades of Diest.

'A beautiful facade adorns the entire house.' This expression is tailor-made for Diest. The facades are the calling card of the city, the signboard of history, the wealth of the residents, and the spirit of the times. But do we take the time to pause at this open-air museum ? During this walk, we discover how the cityscape varied over the centuries. We decipher the architectural language of Diest. From medieval half-timbering to richly decorated baroque. From brick bacon layers to refined graffiti (= technique of facade decoration ). From traditional wooden joinery to imposing metal doors. From simple windows to refined bay windows and graceful balconies. Don't forget your glasses! We look for it in the broad outlines and the smallest details. An unveiling tour that proves that the facades of Diest tell a history in stone.
