Fancy an outing for all the family that's both fun and educational? Den AST, Halle's local history museum, is the place you're looking for. One museum, three fascinating stories: that's Den AST in a nutshell.
The old Van Roye malthouse
This extraordinary local history museum is housed in the old Van Roye malthouse, a listed building and an industrial heritage gem. Beer is a central thread in Halle's history, and the city once counted a large number of malthouses. The Van Roye malthouse was the last one of these to close its doors, back in 1984. The discovery trail at Den AST will tell you all you ever wanted to know about malt and take you right back to the heyday of the malthouse with unique stories from the people who were there.
Holy Halle
Halle is a major pilgrimage site with a whole host of centuries-old religious traditions. At Den AST, Our Lady of Halle will guide you through 800 years of history in this city.

Out and about with St-Veronus
The St Veronus procession has been passing through Lembeek and its surroundings for more than 700 years and has not been declared Flemish Intangible Heritage for nothing. The exhibition "On the Road with Saint-Veroon" in the AST brings this centuries-old but alive tradition into focus. Who was Sint-Veroon? What are the five groups of soldiers and how do you recognize them? What routes do they take? You will discover it through a number of special objects, colorful costumes and dazzling medals.
The youngest experience the march in a very unique way: in Lego! A customized offer was also developed for classes.
