Street Art Squirrel and Rabbit -DZIA
Highlight • Monument
About the artist DZIA:
The Belgian muralist is busy adding a touch of fauna to walls around the world. Dzia, who received a classical training in fine arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, primarily depicts wild animals. Foxes and birds seem to be recurring favorites. His unique style creates a mosaic of colors that follow the animal's shape. His work brings animals back into urban environments and depicts them in bold, geometric lines.

Saint Brixius Church
Highlight • Religious Site
As early as the 11th century, there was mention of a church with a wooden tower. In the 13th century, a stone church was started, which was mainly modified and expanded in the 15th and 17th centuries. For example, the church was significantly enlarged in 1655 with the support of Count Eugeen de Berghe, lord of Sint-Brixius-Rode, see coat of arms in the west facade. When the church had become very dilapidated at the end of the 19th century, urgent restoration work was necessary. In the period 1907-1908, the church underwent a thorough transformation in neo-Gothic style, carried out according to the plans of architect F. Symons (1869-1942). The windows and roofing in particular were thoroughly modified. Previously, the church had pointed arch windows that were changed into neo-Gothic pointed arch windows with tracery. The choir, which was previously shorter and provided with the date 1749, was extended with a sacristy.

St. Christopher's Church - Londerzeel
Highlight • Religious Site
The church burned down around 1595 and a fire also destroyed the church tower in 1730. It was then decided not only to repair the damage, but also to enlarge the church.
Around 1900 the church got a slender spire. The massive western tower, set between two side chapels, has a small hexagonal stair turret on the left that is half incorporated into the tower volume.
The spire of the Sint-Kristoffel Church had a hard time when a tornado raged through Londerzeel in 1990. The metal construction was dismantled and, after thorough restoration, placed again on top of the masonry of the western tower. The church tower is 68 m high.
The contemporary St. Christopher's Church is a three-aisled sandstone place of worship with a transept, choir and side chapels.
