Reasonably large Lourdes Cave, freely accessible to the public in the garden of the Beirinckx August family. The cave was built in 1939. The cave is always beautifully decorated with flowers and candles. A contribution is requested for the candles; the profits go to the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which does good works for the poor. Through this association, the poor children also receive a present at Sinterklaas and Christmas, etc.

Zandpoort

Highlight • Historical Site

The Zandpoort is a city gate on the Zandstraat, it dates from before 1400. On the basis of old foundations, it can be deduced that the size of the original Zandpoort was almost twice as large as the current gate. The facades of the semi-circular walls were built of Gobertange sand-lime brick. Iron ore from the region was processed along the inside. In 1643 the gate was repaired and rebuilt. The semicircular walls disappeared; a smaller entrance gate with a flat rectangular facade in the Renaissance style was added. One side still reveals a part of the original construction. The Zandpoort is a protected monument.

Bovenpoort Herentals

Highlight • Monument

The first mention of the Bovenpoort (also called Hoogpoort) dates from 1361. The facade is clad with gobertange sandstone. A lot of ironstone from the region has been used inside. The ridge height of the upper gate is 10.60 meters. The gate opening is 4.7 meters high. Like the Zandpoort, the Bovenpoort was part of the ramparts of the city. The gate has an eventful history and has fallen into disrepair and rebuilt a number of times. Because it was in a very bad condition and there was no money to carry out repairs, the aldermen decided in 1754 to have a large part of the gate demolished. After all, the gates no longer had any military use. A real restoration followed in 1772, which determined the current appearance of the gate. The two copper vases on the roof were then set up.
