In the 1600s, a drunk local thought the tower was on fire. He alarmed the whole city and the people pulled up lots and lots of buckets of water, up all 538 steps, to extinguish the flames... Until it suddenly disappeared. It was a misty day, and when the moon slipped through the haze, the people realized there never really was a fire.. They were actually trying to extinguish the moon. That is why the people of Mechelen are still called the Moon Extinguishers today!

In 1841 the Ursuline nuns started a school for young girls (from rich families) in Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver. Pretty soon after its establishment, the Ursuline Institute gained international fame. Around the turn of the century almost a quarter of the students in this renowned boarding school were of foreign origin. In 1900 the institute built a beautiful winter garden in Art Nouveau. The architect is (still) unknown. The winter garden served as a reception room for the visitors of the hundreds of girls living in the boarding school. https://visit.mechelen.be/en/wintertuin Art Nouveau (or Jugendstil) is an art movement that was popular in various places in Europe between 1890 and 1914, mainly as a reaction to form-blurring impressionism. The movement experienced a short but intense flowering period, which mainly expanded during the Belle Epoque. #Architecture #LocalSecrets #Trovember](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/5182/f950f57b-8a3a-453b-8c86-dbd0d019ea06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Sint-Katelijne-Waver ![Landscape view over the Saint MArtin church and green zone around the river Dyle in Rijmenam, Bonheiden, Flemish Brabant, Belgium](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/500322/d4b4cdf0-744b-49fd-877b-70901f5e3c9d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Bonheiden ![Cathedral of Our Lady featuring a city, a church or cathedral and heritage architecture](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6057212/15693380-5a68-4129-8af6-8207b0f82e28.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Antwerp ![This quiet little fisher spot is an amazing piece of serenity, ideal to stay and relax but also to go fishing or photography, at the evening you will meet some joggers, walkers and little rabbits if you’re lucky.
