Description by the author

You cannot erase the influence of the Premonstratensians from DIEST. Since 1163, the Norbertine abbey of Tongerlo has led the town spiritually. But the fathers of the Abbey of Averbode also left their mark on the town. In this CITYWALK you will discover the many HISTORIC PARELS in the old center of this fascinating city on the Demer.
