Salt lion. City regained title

Heritage walk offered by Erfgoed Vlaanderen (more info: www.toekomstvooronsverleden.be) and published in the book 'Steengoed! 40 surprising heritage walks through Flanders'.

Zoutleeuw only regained its city title in 1985, which it had lost when Belgium was founded in 1830. The history of Zoutleeuw, once one of the capitals of Brabant, and its incredibly rich architectural heritage justify this title. What a prosperous city the Zoutleeuw trade hub must have been in the Middle Ages! Because the city was strategically strategic, it also received a lot of war. And the numerous disappeared monasteries still leave traces in the streets today. The walk starts and ends at the Grote Markt.
