Lokeren Attractions

Some typically fine Flemish houses of the 17th and 18th C. flank the Grote Markt; the elegant Stadhuis in Flemish Roccoco style was designed by David t'Kindt, the architect from Ghent.

The most striking feature of Sint-Laurentiuskerk is its white tower crowned by a dome. The church dates from the 16th and 17th C. and was destroyed in 1719 by fire. The reconstruction was in Baroque style. From this time dates the beautiful pulpit by the Mechelen artist Verhaegen.

Also noteworthy are the confessionals (1655) and the Late-Gothic font.

The Stedelijk Museum (municipal museum) in the old cloth hall on the Grote Kaai exhibits pre- historic finds, furniture and folk art.
