Hospital Our Lady with the Rose

Local history museum

👍👍 Very old hospital that was running from the 13th century became a museum in the second half of the 20th century. Old times the cure for human soul was even more important than cure for the body.

Tour of Flanders

😠 We ordered 5 bikes with different sizes and with 32 pinion cassete, but we got only 3 of them at the moment, but we finally got them, despite in no very good condition.

'T Gasthuys - Stedelijk Museum Aalst
