Harelbeke Audio Tour: Echoes of Heroes, Mills, and Sacred Stones

Embark on the Harelbeke Audio Tour: Echoes of Heroes, Mills, and Sacred Stones

A fiery rebellion once echoed through Harelbeke’s cobbled Market Square, hidden beneath quiet façades and everyday routines. This self-guided audio tour puts you at the heart of the city’s twists and turns—unearthing secrets embedded in ancient stone and half-whispered in riverside breezes.

What drove desperate townsfolk to storm the Ban Mills in the dead of night? Which shadows linger in the crypts beneath St. Salvator’s Church, guarded by ancient mystery? Why did a forgotten scandal force traders to flee their stalls, leaving gold coins spinning in the dust?

Stride past sunlit canals and over age-old thresholds as you chase stories of intrigue, protest, and resilience. Every stop blurs past and present, shifting the familiar into the extraordinary and urging you to see Harelbeke as a living chronicle.

The city’s secrets stir beneath your feet—are you bold enough to uncover them?
