Culture and Heritage

Because of its unique shape, this staircase has become one of the most important architectural constructions of the Hageland, reinforcing its regional identity. The concept of a floating staircase, with its colour referring to the oxidized sandstone of the regional Diestiaan hills, creates a unique monument.

From hill to hill walk

Tielt's two main residential centres developed on and along a hill and gave birth to two parishes: Sint-Martinus and Onze-Lieve-Vrouw. It is at the church of the latter, built on 'de Berg' ('the hill'), that this walk starts.
