Greetings from Pajottenland!

The modern landscape in Flanders is the result of centuries of human effort to secure a livelihood. The landscape is therefore significantly shaped by humans. In Gooik, this development is still clearly visible.

Human and landscape

Based on existing literature, excavations, and conversations with researchers, we can picture how the landscape has evolved from a tundra to the rich cultural landscape of today…

With greetings from Pajottenland! the Regional Landscape Zenne, Zuun & Zoniën (RLZZZ) and the Centrum Agrarische Geschiedenis (CAG) focus on the precious Pajotten landscape of both then and now.
