Baroque chapel finished in 1729, built around a 12th century Romanesque chapel dedicated to St. Martin. The chapel has an old cemetery with the graves mostly from the 17th century.

Built in the early 20th century by the chocolate factory owner Florent Rosmeulen, it has Art noveau and rococo elements and two gardens (an English and an Italian one). The castle is private property, but occasionally open to the public during different events, at other times you can look at it from a distance.

Castle with parts built during different eras. The oldest part is the Gothic marlstone section from the 16th century. It has a "Louis XVI-style" courtyard, and a farmhouse in Baroque style. The castle is private property but can be viewed from the outside from different angles.

Originating in the 14th century, this castle has also been modified over the centuries. For example, the whitewashed northwestern façade got its current appearance in 1698, as the inscription reads. A farm was built on the premises in the 17th century, of this only the gate and a barn remains.

The oldest remaining part of this castle is the 15th century southern tower. Much of the rest is from the 17th century. On the northern side you can see a bit of the moat that once surrounded the castle.

Castle and farm, built in the 16th century but heavily rebuilt in the 18th century, giving it its current appearance. The moat is still intact, and the castle is often a venue for events.

Originally at Grote Markt, the town hall was burned together with the rest of the city in 1677. It was built between 1737 and 1750 in bricks in classical style, inspired by the city hall of Liège. The front pediment has a coat of arms of Georges-Louis de Berghes, the Prince-Bishop of Liège at the time. The building is not open to visitors.

Not one but two houses, built in late Gothic style. Houses a household item store.

One of the few Art Nouveau buildings in the province, it was finished in 1909 for the Rosmeulen chocolate factory which functioned here until 1934. Nowadays it houses an art center and apartments. It can be admired from the outside and the highlight is the large horseshoe-formed stained glass window surrounding the main entrance, with the chocolate factory's squirrel logo on top.

Completed in 1866, this statue depicts the fearsome leader of the Eburons, which was a tribe that defeated two of Caesar's legions in 54 BC. He is shown trampling a laurel wreath and Roman banners while wearing Celtic clothes and carrying a battle axe and a sword. Nowadays Ambiorix is one of the most famous characters in Belgian history.

All of the "good cities" of the principality had one of these monuments; a stone pillar with a cross-bearing orb on top standing on a set of stairs. First occupying the place where the Ambiorix statue now stands, it was first moved in 1886 and has been on its current place since 1985.

The original Roman wall, dating from the 2nd century, still visible on more than 1,500 m. You will also notice some of the medieval defensive towers that are still visible today.

These ramparts, constructed in the 2nd century, had more of a representative than defensive purpose. They measured 5444 metres in length and had two main gates, one towards Cassel and another towards Colonia Agrippina and two smaller gates. The best preserved parts are in the northwest along the Cesarlaan and in the southwest along Cottalaan and Sabinuslaan. In the latter place you can see a replica of the ramparts - how it looked in Roman times - and replicas of Roman war machines.

The defensive walls from the 13th century measure 2600 m in length with six gates and twelve towers. The best preserved parts are in the north along Elfde-Novemberwal and east along Leopoldwal, where you can find the Moerenpoort gate.

The last standing Medieval city gate, built in 1379 partially with material from the Roman walls, restored in 1892, 1952 and 2011. Originally the gate featured a three-storey building. Interestingly the façades of the gate look really different from each other, with a semicircular Romanesque arch towards the city and a pointed Gothic arch towards the countryside.

Houses Celtic gold, Roman glassware, Merovingian filigree work, and the dodecahedron (12-facet ball), an unusual Gallo-Roman object found during excavations which nobody knows what it represents or was used for. There's a permanent exhibition and a temporary one which changes annually.
