Turnhout Essentials

Turnhout, the capital of the Kempen region, is defined by its ducal history and diverse religious heritage. This selection features the 12th-century Castle of the Dukes of Brabant and the UNESCO-listed Beguinage. Architectural highlights range from the towering neo-Gothic Heilig Hartkerk to the modernist Sint-Franciscus van Assisikerk. Cultural institutions like the Taxandria Museum and the Begijnhofmuseum provide insight into regional archaeology and the history of the beguines, while the Grote Bentel windmill stands as a remnant of the city's industrial past.
