    Just next to Zimmer Tower you can find the Zimmer museum which is actually also the entrance to the Zimmer Tower if you would like to go inside. In the museum there is a huge clock made by Louis Zimmer demonstrated which he created for the world expo. It is absolutely a masterpiece with so many different clocks measuring the most detailed things! What a genius he was! Definitely worth the money!

    Small museum discussing time, clocks, and the life of Louis Zimmer, who built the clock and astronomical studio in the adjacent Zimmer Tower, which can be accessed through the museum. The museum's most fascinating exhibit is the so-called "Wonder Clock," a large astronomical clock with no less than 93 dials.

    There is the clock building and the museum next to it, it's nice to walk around and see the clocks there, a maximum of an hour of entertainment. The sheep monument can be seen on the side outside the museum. You don't have to go to the museum for that. And there is the city park for resting and enjoying nature.

    The museum is somewhat unkempt and small. The story is fascinating, but the presented.

👍👍 I have been to other beguinages, in Belgium but also in the Netherlands, and I must say this is absolutely my favourite one up until now.
