Domain Pietersheim
The first stop on your tour is Domein Pietersheim, a former princely castle park.

In the picturesque city center you will find the impressive Aspremont-Lynden Castle, a restored museum church and the Ucover Gate from 1630. In the 17th century, the village was an imperial county with a council of aldermen and even its own mint.
